The photography is good, the actors gave a decent performance, It begins like a poorly executed romantic movie, too fast and a little messy. Then when we get to the thick of it, the heart of the story and Eric Lomax's history starts to make sense a little bit, but again it's executed poorly. It begins like a poorly executed romantic movie, too fast and a little messy. The only downside, if this bothers you, is that it has scenes of torture and violence and an inspiring message which may hit you the wrong way if you love wallowing in your own self-pity - which are the only people I can imagine not liking this film (I know what that's like because I did it for much of my life) See it and be inspired. Not only that it is a true story of mercy triumphing over judgement. If you prefer modern films that have no hero, where everyone is dysfunctional and tainted by evil, and that really have nothing to say, then you might find this film old fashioned - personally I miss old fashioned where films had meaning, a moral, a message and a hero - and this one has it. In my opinion one of the best films I've seen in years and I see a lot of movies. The film reminded me of 'The Shawshank Redemption' in many ways as it is a film about loss, suffering, revenge and redemption. The opening scenes where the lead character falls in love was worth the price of admission.
