Better than Brosnan's

 

The Great Escaper (2023)


Directed by Oliver Parker this film based on real events stars Michael Caine and Glenda Jackson. An old man goes AWOL from this care home to attend the 70th anniversary of D-Day in France.


Compared to The Last Rifleman (2023) I found this film to be a lot more grounded and less overly sentimental. The film does a good job of looking at how society deals with old age as well as telling the story. Good performances from the leads who are in the twilight of their careers.


4/5
