A bit long winded

Rating: 5/10 (31 May 2015)

I had never heard of Louis, however, notwithstanding his resilience the whole film didn't grab me at all. Sorry the main actor appeared to me as being too stoic with little dialog to enhance his situation all through the film. Anyway, there is little more to say about it, another POW war film, that seemed to me to lack passion. It's OK, but the story line to me lacked something maybe drama and too pedestrian and long winded.
One got the impression that the Japanese 'the bird' knew him from the 1936 Olympics, when few if any Japanese even entered as they had invaded China. This sparked off why the Americans and British put an embargo on them.
