Excellent film, story, action, drama, it is a real story...
not sure what the fuss is about, it's kinda slow...
Great movie; nice to see new faces and the fact that it is based on a true story adds to it for me. The violence is huge but after reading the book, the movie is actually less violent so it goes to show how brutal the Japanese were with their prisoners of war. A must-see for history lovers and like my friend who came with me said "I wish they would have taught us what war is like when I was in school."
I rarely review. This was a must. This story is the bridging of 2 stores, the strength and achievement of a goal hard won and the breaking of a spirit and the strength to survive. It was an amazing experience. Beautifully filmed, smart, intelligent and moving. Viewing a masterpiece is rare, this was a gift. Showing the inner strength of each of us.
