The Railway Man (2013) Download Voll

Why does the movie leave one cold?. The critical problems are an overbusy time-jumping script and reliance on the conventions of the trauma drama - flashbacks, fragmentation, distorted time and space - that prove more a barrier than a window into the character's inner lives.. [It] has many problems but also has Colin Firth .... "The Railway Man" is a polished locomotive that never builds up steam or deviates from its timetable.. A consistently fine actor, Firth does marvelous work here, as Lomax...

At times, this fact-based film feels like a breezy heist flick, while at others it's a somber tribute to the sacrifices of war. The two tones don't harmonize, and they never ring true.. There's lots of information, some nice images, plenty of earnest sermonizing about cu...
