The Railway Man (2013)
Directed by Jonathan
Teplitzkey this film based on a true story stars Colin Firth, Nicole
Kidman and Jeremy Irvine. In 1980 a man who was a POW held by the
Japanese and forced to work on the Thai-Burma Railway marries but
still struggles with his past.
The subject matter of
this film has been covered plenty of times before really well but the
slightly unique take this film brings to the subject is showing the
after affects of surviving such conditions. While the film is
enjoyable and largely accurate there are a few key areas on which it
is not which is a slight disappointment. There are good performances
from all the cast and some solid direction.
3/5
