One of the greatest wartime stories

Rating: 10/10 (16 January 2015)

This film deserves nothing but a top rating. Jolie directed a top notch production with all the realism of what our P.O.W.'s had to endure. The opening bombing run itself is worth an Oscar!!
Yes, there was a large production and post-production crew behind the film, but the director has the final control and Angelina Jolie pulled it off perfectly.
It is unfortunate so many people rate a film on some preconceived notion of what a film should include and how it should be shown. Those who rate this film poorly should take a crack at producing and directing a large scale motion picture centered around such a complex subject.
