Highly entertaining and highly innacurate

Rating: Null/10 (12 June 2002)

This movie is an interesting contradiction. It is clearly entertaining and thought-provoking. Unfortunately, having done a little research on the "Death Railroad", I find it is universally hated by anyone with a more than average knowledge of actual events. Survivors of the true incident and their relatives will not watch this film. The point? Watch to enjoy good cinema, but do not pretend it mirrors actual events.
