a really great escape

Rating: 10/10 (31 March 2009)

this one has so many great performances it's really a piece of art to watch, you got, Steve Mcqueen, the obvious king of cool,, not to mention " the cooler king" in this one,, you got Donald Pleasense, James Garner, Richard Attenborough, Charles Bronson,, he'll be digging tunnels,, as the tunnel king.. the list goes on and on , this one did spawn a sequel 25 years later, but it is inferior to this great epic of a war movie,, Nazi Germany, brand new prison camp just built, to house " all of the rotten eggs in one basket" , boy what a mistake by the German high command,, you got the Luftwaffe, the S.S. and the Gestapo,, what a triple threat,, as the movie proceeds you know it's just a matter of time before they all get out of that camp.. it's not a sappy movie,, some heroes don't get out,, some get killed,, so i liked it for that also,, great music in here, in my mind, this is a perfect war movie,, one that you could watch over and over again,, without any problem, i know i wouldn't .
