Review of The Railway Man (2013) by Roger T — 28 Dec 2013

An interesting film that captures a quite unique story. A bit disappointing at times, I was more interested in the modern day story, but it instead used the 1980s timeline as a plot mechanic to delve into the past.

There were a number of implausible areas in the plot, which can be put down to poor adaption of the real life story, whether due to time constraints or performances. Overall a film that is kind of predictable in it's story arc, but mostly restrained.
