The perfect war film

Rating: 10/10 (29 July 2008)

This film has everything, great music, great acting and a script that allows humour to temper a very serious story based on true events. From a British point of view, the Steve McQueen character is a little unbelievable, but it wouldn't be the film it is without him and the great motor cycle sequence.
This film is full of character actors, some of whom went onto bigger and better movie roles but as an entire cast, the blend has rarely been bettered.
Elements of the script show up in everyday conversation, and in identifying characters within your own business you will be able to ascribe characters from this film to their personalities. Who is the scrounger in your office, who is the forger etc.
A must see film
