Review of The Railway Man (2013) by Greg R — 17 Apr 2014

I don't understand the tomato meter of 66%. This movie is playing in three theaters in LA and we saw it today. Most of the audience were seniors like myself; those people who are still interested I very serious movies and not Marvel comics.

There wasn't a sound in the theater during the entire feature. This is a true story about a Brit who served in WW 2 and was captured by the Japanese. He suffers from PTSD. Colin firth is truly excellent in the movie and is Stellan Skarsgard.

The movie, through flashbacks, tells of Lomax's torture by the Japanese during the war. In the end instead of revenge we have forgiveness. It's a very emotional picture. If you want to see quality actors in a quality motion picture than this is for you.
