Consumer DVD Review
[Top]
War brings out the best & worst in human relationships & this film brings out both in startling clarity. The actors are all superb as they portray people whose basic humanity is strained in the most terrible of conditions. Some rise above the horror of the prison camp, some fall & courage is shown not in how strong you can be but in how you respond when strength is not an option. This film is deeply moving in its own right but to know that it is a true story & that the people actually existed ensures that its power does not cross the line into emotional manipulation. Watch this film & weep!

Biography: Robert Carlyle
[Top]
Robert Carlyle is a Scottish movie actor, who is considered by many to be one of the best British actors of the modern era. Carlyle, born in Glasgow, was abandoned by his mother at the age of four. Inspired after reading Arthur Miller s The Crucible, he enrolled in acting class at the age of 21, at the Glasgow Arts Centre. In 1991, he & four friends founded an acting company. He first came to the attention of the public as a psychotic murderer in an episode of Cracker, but was soon playing a more sympathetic role, that of Highland policeman, Hamish McBeth, in the BBC comedy-drama of the same name. In 1997, Carlyle got married to Anastasia Shirley. In 2002, she gave birth to their first child, daughter Ava. Carlyle is perhaps best remembered for his work in The Full Monty, a comedy movie about a group of men who must perform striptease to earn their living. Another memorable role was that of the villain Renard in the James Bond film The World Is Not Enough. Posters Of The Full Monty
