I have just returned from seeing this magnificent film and I am still to recover from the experience. It is one of the most powerful films that I have seen on the subject of ordinary people involved in war and such films carry more in the form of unexpected friendships than the other genres do.
I have nothing to say about the film except to recommend that all my readers see it to get the experience first hand of a top class story told brilliantly on screen by some remarkable acting by all the cast, notably Russell Crowe. I have no hesitation in giving it a [rating=6] rating.
Glad you enjoyed it, many of the reviews criticise its massive historical inaccuracies.

The historical inaccuracies are of no consequence for the effectiveness of the story which is powerful.
Wow ! Praise indeed from my favourite film critic. 🙂

It is, believe me, it is.
I’ve asked Netflix to save it for me — it’s not available yet. Thanks for all your suggestions. 🙂
