Review of Escape from Sobibor (1987) by Stacie — 16 Oct 2007
As sad and intense as it can be, its a great movie. It touches you where it hurts, even in the easier parts (a little dancing in the camp). The movie won't let you forget where we are, shifting the view to the horrible chimneys.
The real story is one of the most amazing acts that has occurred in modern history. The movie succeeds in passing the horrors of the camp, the deep misery of the life, and in the end the greatness of the moment, as well as the great tension these people are in in the last minutes of the film.
The effects (shots, mines exploding) are a little poor, but the acting is very good (especially the Nazis, but Arkin is great, too).
