High 8's ?

Rating: 7/10 (26 June 2003)

I think this movie is among the most overrated movies on this site. It was worth watching but it deserves a 7, at best. High 8 rating's...among the greatest films ever! What? The movie dragged on way too long and it was incredible slow. In combination with this the main character doesn't grow in any noticeable way that I could see and its pretty much a story of blatantly using friends to survive (hand in hand with one heck of a string of luck). Although I really try to avoid comparing all holocaust movies to `Schindler's List', I usually end up doing so by default....and this movie pales in comparison.
