Review of The Railway Man (2013) by Jennifer T — 28 Aug 2014
Got to admit, did not know what this was about when I rented it. Kind of thought it was a romance story. Oops.
Needless to say, wasn't too enthralled when the romance between Colin firth and Nicole Kidman suddenly turned into war flashbacks set 40 years prior.
Honesty, I was bored crapless for the majority and on the iPad not really paying attention. Bits of it got through. The water torture in particular was harrowing and the reconciliation at the end was surprisingly moving.
I would say this is actually a worthy and well made movie, just not one I would have chosen had I actually read the blurb properly!
Nicole Kidman's role is relatively small. She's really not a main character.
