When Ray pitches the initial dive to Charlie, it would be better if the reason to risk entering the US were to save Ray or help him avoid financial destruction and not just a big payday. It would also be better to address the wariness Charlie should have about coming anywhere in the US, much less the NYC area. I also really wanted to know a little more how a former Mossad agent's grandmother worked on the most-secret project for Hitler. It seems either the Nazis or the Israeli government would have had some serious trust issues about the family from the get go. I essentially will watch any movie that has Nazis, time travel or vampires. After the action reached Prague, I was invested enough to keep watching, but it seemed to come apart a little from that point. If they were captured by the Nazis after Prague and some of the overall Fourth Reich plot were revealed, but they escaped and foiled their plans it would help build more tension and reveal more of the Nasi-ness earlier on. I also was not sure exactly what the Nazis needed to make alchemy work that they didn't have in 1945. If the international jaunt included the keys and some other ingredient, it would explain why Germany didn't win WWII. I also expected more swimming or diving over the course of the script from Charlie. Those are some of my concerns and ideas. As a stuff-blows-up movie, it had plenty of action and gratuitous romance, but I would expect this to be a movie I see on Netflix or in the aisles of a Blockbuster and say, "When did this come out?"
