The chariot of the sun

Jason Clarke makes a great nazi. He's tall and robost with jaws of steel and chins that could kill. In The Man with the Iron Heart he's Reinhard Heydrich, an officer with a nazi résumé that puts everyone else in shame, in the killing jews business, as the main architect in the Holocaust, he was the most meticulous one, really mathematical and systematical in his approach. Because the nazi regime reigned supreme in Germany, Czechoslovakia, Poland and in the Baltic, the dude had many enemies and they all wanted him dead. The movie is quite nicely divided into two parts; The SS-Obergruppenführer Heydrich and his rise to power, and his enemies, people in the Czech Resistance.
