One of my favorites! A Must See!

Rating: 10/10 (9 August 2001)

"The Great Escape" is one of those classic movies that parents seem to have a tough time getting their kids to sit down and watch it with them. Now, with that in mind, I am a 16-year-old male. I first saw this movie about three years ago when my mother managed to sit me down and have me watch it, and I LOVE this movie! There's really nothing bad you can say about this movie. It starts off a little slow, but before you know it, you become very intrigued in the story. And before the process of the escape even began, I became very interested in the characters themselves. Bronson's character, for example, probably received most of my sympathy throughout the film, because of his claustrophobia. This movie did a excellent job of forcing the audience to become involved in the characters before the initial escape even began. And when that moment came, I was just as interested then as I was in the beginning of the movie. Great action sequences, too, even for an older movie. And, as far as the acting goes, there were good performances all around (even by Charles Bronson!). If you haven't seen this movie, I HIGHLY recommend it! And, if you have kids in their teens, have them sit down and enjoy it with you. Hey, that's what happened in my situation, and I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. 10/10!
