Review of Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence (1983) by Steve M — 29 Dec 2011
It has some great moments but otherwise a disappointing movie. It's main issue is that it tries to be a horrors of POW camp type of film but we've seen that before in plenty of films and even so doesn't really add much to the film.
The little moments are the ones worth watching. Oddly enough some of the best scenes are the ones of 2 or 3 characters talking and the scenes of violence is the forgettable part of the film.. Worth a watch and has a very good score.
