BM M. @BMann Nov 12 Took me long enough. This one is right up there with Bridge on River Kwai and Pompei or whatever it’s called. Also has a little cool hand Luke to it which is one of my all-time favorites. See more Jim P Jul 10 Well I always thought The Great Escape was the best POW movie... BUT! Everyone has morals in that camp... Here, on the other hand, only one guy sticks to his morals. It's a harsh camp and it's all about survival. A tough watch but worth it. See more James J 06/14/2024 Must see a real eye opener realistically shows just how barbaric the Japanese solders really were and what prisoners had to go through to survive! See more Fred W 05/11/2024 The best POW movie yet made. It shows realism, not a hyped up escape. A societal class study underlays the plot to give some depth. See more rob L 03/01/2024 One of the best movies iv ever had the pleasure to watch See more 12/10/2021 Film making at it's best. Clovell's skill as a writer allowed him to capture the essence of his personal experience as a POW of the Japanese. The film, in turn, captures the essence of that great 'novel's. George Segal, James Fox, and all the minor leads are outstanding; surely Segal's best performance on film. Segal contrast of Anerican transactional philosophy with Fox's British relational philosophy is a commentary on how the world changed after the war ended. You can feel the heat, the hunger, the despair. Yes, you say to yourself, that is what it was like. That is what happened. The Japanese surrender statement is worth listening to, several times. A film they will be watching while there are people to watch films. See more Read all reviews
