However, the two did not have a romantic relationship. Also, there's not a lot of tension or suspense; it a pretty straight forward abduction that doesn't live up to the importance of the event. |, June 23, 2020 Netflix has been streaming a movie about Eichmann’s capture and trial, called “Operation Finale.” Ben Kingsley, who plays Eichmann in the production, has … There aren't really any set pieces where their cover might be blown.
