Brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (30 December 2012)

This is simply one of the best films ever made. It is heartbreaking, depressing and uplifting in equal measure.
The story itself is simple but beautifully realised and the acting is incredible. Liam Neeson, Ralf Fiennes and Ben Kingsley are all magnificent but there is not a duff performance throughout this film.
This is a long film but it never gets boring and there are memorable scenes throughout. I am not a big fan of Steven Spielberg but it is difficult to see how this film could have been bettered by any director.
This film stands as a brutal reminder of the horrors of war but also the incredible bravery and compassion of a few men.
