Movie - 2000-2010 - Former German Hitler Youth member is an assassin in Mexico.


I only saw the beginning of this film and I can't recall much about it except that it's split between two timelines: A man in 1960s Mexico who is an assassin, and his recollections of being a Hitler Youth teenage boy fighting/fleeing Russians in 1945 Germany. I think his German girlfriend was raped and killed by the Russians.

It took me 2 seconds to find it on Google using your description despite never seeing it. I'm sure you can do the same. It's named after a famous band

Don't be a dick. My Google is broken.

reply

The lead singer of this band died young, not even reaching the 27 club

reply

The Germs? Buddy Holly & the Crickets? The Flying Burrito Brothers? Mayhem?

reply

Why don't you just give him the movie name if you know it?

Where's the joy in that? 😉​

Maybe "Joy Division" (2006) ?
