Bryan W Old fashioned movie. I disagree with most of the well meaning negative reviews. Too much heavy thinking today. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/09/25 Full Review james h A lot of criticism of this film misses the brilliance of the film... life is cluttered and corny. The film captures and touches on so many social issues in life. Makes no attempt to sort thru or provide the cookie cutter solutions film can do. Loved the film loved the corny cluttered, unanswered questions we have in life... beautifully done... Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/08/25 Full Review Jay W I know this movie is only roughly 92.75 minutes, but you feel the runtime. It is a long journey to get to where he's going, and it is very repetitive. Brosnan gets into a car, talks with someone for a minute, has a war flashback. Gets into another car, talks to them for a minute and has another flashback. Now repeat that formula five times. Pierce Brosnan is bringing out the big guns with his acting, absolutely selling every scene he is in. The makeup is good; I never had a hard time believing that Brosnan was 20 years older than he is. And the ending is really good. You can be the judge whether the last 2 minutes are worth going through the other 90. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/03/25 Full Review Alain E Better than I expected. Not a big fan of Pierce Brosnan who seemed to me too slick when he was younger. I like him better as he ages. His performance is very good here. There is a danger with this type of scenario to descend in deep sentimentality, but here overall this is avoided. There are some factual errors. In the flashbacks with the three friends on the beach, before the war, they are shown using a Brown Super Paxette camera. Brown started making cameras in 1948 and the model used in 1953-4! Just a fifteen years chronological error. Brosnan has a hypoglycemic episode, overall unlikely since he is not on insulin, but after a sip of a soft drink he recovers in seconds! At some point this 92 years old man is dropped in the middle of an unknown French town and manages not to get lost. In the credits there are close to twenty VFX workers. Makes you wonder how they made movies before computerized manipulations. There is a Physiotherapy and Pilates consultant. Thankfully the scenes taking place in France were not shot in Hungary. Interestingly the Variety reviewer thought that the journalist trying to connect with Brosnan’s character has his GPS set in French while he is struggling to find the English translation and he is actually hearing the German one. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/01/25 Full Review Sheryl N An excellent movie that tugs at the heartstrings and reminds us that being old doesn't mean that you don't stop living. Brosnan's character is dealing with the past, and the present, and the future in a way that few of us would ever have to, and while the movie might seem slow at times, it's going at the right pace. There's plenty of humor in here as well, along with an ending that'll have you weeping. Watch through the credits, though - there's a bit more, so don't stop when the credits start rolling! Definitely worth watching! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/29/25 Full Review bill e A painful watch. A film supposedly celebrating WW2 veterans but treating them like children. Clueless. Terribly written. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/22/25 Full Review Read all reviews
