Entertaining, but not riveting

Rating: 8/10 (20 April 2015)

Great film. Disappointed though by historical inaccuracies at the expense of others reputations. The Brits did not turn away the Americans and the Kiwis even helped drive the Americans to the Airport. The Canadian role was far more involved in reality. The real life participants of this adventure, have clarified story variance from truth - even the Americans were disappointed on how some story points didn't honor those that saved their lives. I get how the climax had to hold Hollywood excitement and thriller pace. Just disappointed that real heroes not only not honored, but in some cases maligned and lesser heroic involvement was exalted falsely! Not The Last King of Scotland...
