Review of The Railway Man (2013) by Bshop — 15 Aug 2014

Decent film about prisoners of war and the resolutions of war.

Colin Firth does a swell job playing a British officer dealing with PTSD decades after the war when he finds a captor still alive. The young version of the officer (playing during the war) is great, much better than Firth as an older gentleman.

It was kind of confusing with the flashbacks happening so often, but I guess that's what happens when you make a movie that is all about the past.

In summary, decent flick about war although not as good as it is hyped up in the trailers. I would rent if possible or see on Netflix. Not worth a theater trip or buying, unless you like flashback-type movies.
