5 stars (Exceptional) A must-see classic escape film set in WW2. McQueen is great, and there are some scenes that will stick with you forever. ~Tom H

3 stars (Good Enough) The prisoners are portrayed as well dressed which doesn't seem authentic - but the camp was more civilised than those operated by the Gestapo or Japanese. Watch the bonus feature edition which has excellent interviews and historical film. ~Tubbs
