All through this film you are aware of the writer sitting at his Keyboard trying to be profound and deep.
The result is a self important wafer of a film.
There is no sense of the real suffering these men went through all the actors have healthy white teeth and apart from a few token skinny actors they all look well fed and cared for.
The hell of the camp and building the railroad is simply a background for pretentious waffle.
There is absolutely no cinematic flair. The narration is cringe-worthy and naive.
Try Byan Forbes' harrowing and realistic "King Rat" instead.
