    Deeply Moving

    This film is over two hours long, but passed by in what seemed like ten minutes,

    A truly amazing and deeply moving cinema experience not to be missed by anyone with just the slightest interest in events from ww2.

    You feel like you are there on the island suffering every emotion and fear with the brilliant cast of actors,

    How this film missed out on a Oscar to the most over rated film of all time The Departed will remain a mystery to me.
