Hangmen Also Die was directed by the legendary Fritz Lang during World War II. A lot of these films made during this time were semi-propaganda films, so you never know what you are going to get. Although it contains the typical propaganda elements, the film for the most part is able to pull itself above those elements into an enjoyable couple of hours. There are a couple of shots that are typically great stuff from Lang, (The death of the Gestapo chief among them) and cinematographer James Wong Howe does his normal stellar job with the lighting. My only real problem is that every now and then the acting of Anna Lee gets a little over the top. For as long as she had been in the business at this time she should have known how to tone it down a bit. Overall a solid Netflix rental.
