    Very Good Movie

    As I said, Railway Man could have had a little more action in it for me but I still thought it was a very well told touching true story about a man who was tortured as a POW during the war and then mentally tortured the rest of his life. It gets very interesting when he decides to go back and get his revenge on the main man responsible for his life time of agony. Over all, it is not a movie I would watch over and over, but I will definitely watch it again some time in the future like I do most of my movies.

    A beautifully acted, enjoyable movie

    The Railway Man is intense, moving, and touches some sentimental strings. Definitively, it is worth seeing, even if the story is fragmented at times, and the end is somewhat predictable..
