an unsung speilberg classic

Rating: Null/10 (11 May 2004)

one of speilbergs truly great directorial masterpeices i found it quiet slow burning until the last half of the film (the P.O.W camp) but non the less i was gripped all the way the visual spectacle of it was amazing and the final 5 minutes brings a lump to even the most hardened movie watcher's throat the only film that i feel remotley comes near in genre and spirit is that mad italians, life is beatiful also entertaining but in my opinion a lot less heart than empire a nine out of ten for me and a well recommended film if you have'nt seen it yet. free from cgi story telling @ its best
