  Terrible film with Anorectic Patrick Swayze
  
  The guy who played the main part was ok-ish. The rest were like Big Brother contestants trying to pose as actors. Bad. Patrick Swayze looks anorectic there and ... read more »

  Very good historical-factual drama
  
  This is an extremely good film, with a star turn from Ben Silverstone, who is uniformly excellent. Some of the supporting cast are a little wooden (hence the ... read more »

  Good true story
  
  Set in the pre-nazi period showing how someone can get put on trial for murder with little evidence. When the people in the area hate jews

  Good idea - bad production
