Great effort

Rating: Null/10 (10 December 2014)

A must see for the incredible story. Not sure why Mrs. Pitt would use an Irishman when the main character was Italian. Jack Nicholson turned down the role of the lead character in the Godfather because he felt an Italian should be the best choice. Obviously so, should of been the case here. The book is a must read for it is more honest to what happened. This guys life endured everything imaginable for the period of time. From being a street kid, Olympic athlete, attacked by sharks, meeting Hitler face to face, stranded at sea, imprisoned, beaten religiously by a menacing guard, to seeing the Nuclear bomb go off...... Wow! The Coen brothers did a fantastic job as always with the screen play.
