I was thinking between 5/10 or 6/10 because it seems 6 is too much for it but WHAT a good preference by Al Pacino , sure until this he is totally able to nail every part he gets in his comfort zone, Like Hoffa in The Irishman 2019 , I hope he keeps going with those kinds of characters even if the movies they are in are not so great , watchable.

This film spends a long time on background, and waits too late to bring the court hearings into it. Al Pacino does do an inspired closing, but the jury decision makes no sense in this context. I wish someone had bothered to go to the court records and pull out what the jury looked at to put it into the film to make sense.

Why would a jury disregard the fact that Axis Sally was scripted and spoke other persons word for 7 counts, but then find her guilty for doing the exact same thing on count number 8? That is the perplexing problem here. With what is presented, the verdict makes no sense. There's something missing that made the jury do that, but it's not in the film.

The sequencing is good, but does ramble going back and forth with Axis Sally's life, but at least when it goes back it says when and where it is going. The script does a poor job bringing the characters to life. The only salvation is in the closing credits when one of the real people in the film gets a chance to talk. I love the history here, but hate the way it is presented. There has got to be another way.

The cast is good, but they do not really get the material to work with.

"American Traitor: The Trial of Axis Sally" is a dramatization of the trial of Mildred Gillars, the woman referred to as Axis Sally during WWII. This American woman was called this because after renouncing her citizenshp and moving to Germany, she began broadcasting for the German propaganda machine. What were the broadcasts? They involved trying to demoralize the Allied soldiers and she was similar to the woman known in the Pacific as 'Tokyo Rose'.

The film was okay...not bad, not good. I think I felt this way because although well made, late in the story the filmmakers tried to make the audience feel sorry for the woman. Considering she helped the Nazi war machine, she was a traitor...and I'd rather extend my sympathies towards someone a bit more deserving. Without this VERY sympathetic ending, I would have scored this one a bit higher.
