great raid. unexpectedly great!

Rating: 10/10 (22 August 2005)

what a spectacular movie! one of the best films in military genre. i was disappointed by the reviews of the critics and such low scores they gave. maybe it's just that they don't get the whole thing. The story? more than nice! visuals??? superb. The actors are also very good. I was quite surprised by James Franco's acting prowess in this one---amazingly capturing. Joseph Fiennes is awesome. He portrayed his role very well. the direction deserves more than two thumps up. through this flick, i realized how important history is. I understood that achieving real freedom is painfully difficult (it entails lots of sacrifices). unexpectedly great! WORTH-THE-EFFORT FILM!!!
