Quite Possibly the best World War II Movie Ever!!!

Rating: 10/10 (22 February 2002)

Based on actual events (the History Channel just ran a special on it, interviewing people who were there) the movie is gripping, exciting and thoroughly breathtaking. Although some artistic license was taken, this is how life (and death) was for the thousands of Allied POWs captured during the war. If you want to see a "lighthearted" view of being a POW during World War II was, go watch "Hogan's Heroes" reruns - if you want to see how World War II really was, then this is the movie for you.
