Watched the movie on 28 Sep @ Cathay AMK Hub

ah-deng says: 4 / 5 Brilliant dialogues and cast including those cameos. And of course, the scalp part was a shock too! However, based on History records, Hitler committed suicide instead of being killed thus I was a bit disappointed but parts of the plot. Other than that, it is an entertaining movie even towards the end!
