Andrew B @Abogaard May 17 This critic rating is way off, I can't understand it. It's like the critics got together and review bombed it... In the past I've tried to watch films with critic scores below 60 and I don't think I've ever liked any of them. Luckily I followed my gut and here's one with 16% at time of writing and honestly I would've guessed it'd have over 70% if you handed it to me blind. Very weird. Watch it, it's great.

I was surprised that 'Critics' rated it low but then not because they usually are critical no pun intended. See more Dave T @RT23151407 Apr 1 I understand the negative critic reviews and also the positive audience reviews of this film. I do think the critics were a bit harsh, especially after viewing this film a few times and truly enjoying it. Actually enjoying some aspects critics panned. One being the "lack of emotional content/robotic" performance Leto’s put in as lead character. I think this was effectively depicting a "shell of a man" who’s soul was lost to a war he never agreed with and was apparently a deserter mid rank soldier that was later imprisoned by the Japanese. This just works. I do agree with some negatives regarding sidestepping interesting Japanese characters, I wish they spent more time focusing on the supporting characters, as there were some really fascinating dynamics there. Overall, this is a slow burn, and compelling in an unusual way. It’s beautifully produced and filmed. If not for everyone, for those that appreciate this approach.

See more Drew B @Drewbert Dec 29 This was somewhat predicable however, very well done with cinematography bringing the viewer into the Japanese times (1954) and leaving us rooting for the two main characters who are the most honorable members of the story. If I were to say two things about this it would be thank you and let's have the sequel. See more Read all reviews
