Great movie for the THE GREAT ESCAPE

Rating: 9/10 (15 February 2012)

The Great Escape... A great incident which may have shook the confidence of Nazi POW camps. The strangest thing about the escape was it was not exactly an escape but an attempt to distract the Germans from the front. Now when it comes to the movie, it is pretty obvious that it will not be same as the true incident. But the film adaptation was good. A balance between reality and entertainment was well maintained. The movie only shows what an average audience wants to see and feel i.e. entertainment rather than making him revolve around the minute details of the escape. So I would say it was more a movie less a documentary. I wouldn't say great but all the actors have done justice to their parts. It was really nice to see acting skills of a great film maker Richard Attenborough as the Master Mind of the plan. Steve McQueen as a notorious American prisoner who made several escape attempts did a good job. Charles Bronson was as usual calm and composed I doubted whether he would panic during the escape but yes did justice to his role as THE TUNNEL KING.
