Nazis! South America! Secret agents! Car chases!
Paramount Pictures has given us a fun title here in Condor's Nest, which takes us on a journey from Europe to South America, during WW2 and into the decade beyond, in a highly-stylized revenge-thriller. We follow protagonist Will, who's hunting nasty bad guy Colonel Bach (played brilliantly by Arnold Vosloo) and finds himself in the middle of a broader political conspiracy to revive the Nazi empire in Bolivia.
There are some flat moments - a less-than-stellar car chase sequence comes to mind - and a few bits of lag where a tighter script could've made the difference, but the film is dotted with so many scene-stealing performances (Jackson Rathbone's meth-addled creepster comes to mind) and punchy beats that it's well worth the price of admission.
