First Oscar worthy picture of the year.


Glad they didn't wait until December to release it. You normally don't get a picture this good so early in the year. A story of a real, human hero and a great antidote to all the fake superheroes on the screen this time of year.

Outstanding piece of cinema.

Well paced with nicely judged performances from all involved. When Lomax and Nagase confront each other at the end it packed an emotional punch.

Hopefully this movie will receive the recognition it richly deserves during awards season.


You can't palm off a second-rater on me. You gotta remember I was in the pink!
