Review of The Great Raid (2005) by Steven Rea for Philadelphia Inquirer — 08 Mar 2006
Lacks the visceral sweep of "Saving Private Ryan." But Spielberg's story, for all its gut-wrenching intensity, was a fiction. Dahl's movie, slower in pace and conscious of its own artifice, addresses the same issues of courage and sacrifice - and tells a true story.
That's worth something. In fact, it's worth a lot.
