I went into this film blind not knowing, and still not knowing, anything about the director, the cast, or the history of this war it depicts.

It's very well filmed and has an abundance of great scenes , though it comes with some big problems.

I enjoyed this...I like war film, I don't like war, but I do like war films, or in this case prisoner of war films, because it fills that need to know.
