Decent film of real-life story. Colin Firth, Nicole Kidman and Stellan Skarsgård (who I guess we recognise from Good Will Hunting) are all good, Jeremy Irvine gets the young Firth well, with Hiroyuki Sanada and Tanroh Ishida as the older and younger versions of the captor / translator.
Pretty heavy of course. I wonder if perhaps it suffers slightly from the one-ending-too-many syndrome.
I like the very under-exposed wide shot in the veterans' club, but wondered why DP Garry Phillips doesn't match the light in the close shots.
