Review of The Great Escape (1963) by David L — 08 Jan 2017
The Great Escape is obviously well made, sometimes interesting and well acted, but the film is structurally odd as it is very different in its two halves - the action is boring and overwhelming in the second half whereas the first half is slow and dull.
It is one of those war movies that rely on action instead of drama and its running time is overblown beyond a shadow of a doubt. All in all, it is one giant overrated snoozefest.
