Just like The Reciter, the story of Sin tells about World War II, about the Holocaust, about the remnants of the Nazis, but it was not discovered during the Second World War, but a story 10 and 60 years after the end of the Second World War. Moreover, "Iniquity" and "The Reciter" both focus on women, except that the woman Rachel in "Iniquity" is a Jew and an agent who traces the remnants of the Nazis, while in "The Reciter" is about one. The story of how the female Nazi was tried. As a tracing story and an agent's story, "Iniquity" does not have too many shootout scenes, nor too many fighting occasions, but traces more of the scenes back to the heart of the characters in the story, just like "The Reciter".
The secret agent's inner drama, coupled with the addition of love, "Sin" actually wants to talk more. However, this excessive expression also limits a certain depth, especially there is a certain conflict between the old version of the agent and the young version of the agent, and the change in personality lacks some foreshadowing. The interpretation of different actors also makes the character match between the two a little bit out of touch. This is not something regrettable, otherwise, the performance of "Sin" should be better.
Here are a lot of spoilers. Be careful!
From 1965 to 1966, the Second World War has ended for 20 years, and the world situation has entered a cold war pattern between the two camps of socialism and capitalism.

But the cunning Nazis succeeded in using psychological warfare, exploiting David's anger and Rachel's kindness, and finally escaped. The three people faced the biggest challenge. In the face of reality, they chose to lie and unified their calibre. After returning, they declared that they had killed the Nazis, and they became heroes. In love, because Rachel was pregnant with Stephen's child, they lived together, and David left alone.
But the drama is that after another 30 years, in 1997, the newspaper revealed that the Nazi doctor who had escaped appeared again, this time in Kiev, Ukraine. And his appearance disrupted the lives of Rachel, Stephen, and David. Where they should go is the biggest test. Because Stephen and Rachel have enjoyed 30 years of being heroes and have a seemingly happy life. If the Nazi doctor's report is true, it will directly expose their lie back then, and it will bring huge trouble to their lives. So Rachel went out again, using his skills as an agent at the time, intending to solve this stumbling Nazi doctor. This process will test her body and mind to the greatest extent. And David, in these years, he has been in love with Rachel, and regretted his original lies, so he has been single in tracing the news of the Nazi doctors. When he found the news, he quickly came to Rachel to ask her opinion. Is it to get rid of that Nazi or to make the news public? The result of Rachel's choice, who hadn't figured it out yet, disappointed David. David, who had lived under pressure for many years, finally chose to commit suicide in order to get rid of the torture of lies about himself. In the end, Rachel chose to make the Nazi news public again, so that he could go to court and be tried by the public. As a result, Rachel completed his atonement.
This story is adapted from the successful Israeli film of the same name and is a remake. At least the quality of the story has been guaranteed, and the actors have worked very hard. The only drawback is that the connection between the young version and the old version of the characters is a bit poor. The heroine who runs through the same performance, because of the Oscar actress Helen Mirren, is perfect.
