Review of The Railway Man (2013) by Reini U — 21 Apr 2014
Another superfluous war torture biopic. It starts quite charming with a guy obsessed with railways, not really harmed by the new botox victim Nicole Kidman, but in the 3rd act the film spirals downwards, with completely unnecessary torture scenes, the predictable uplifting moral story and the worst, the Weinstein violin orgy.
The film might have succeeded with the 3rd act explained in 3 sentences in the end credits, but this is pure Weinstein junk, even worse then "Il Postino".
