Movie Reviews of The One That Got Away
Movie Review: Reviewing "The One That Got Away"
Summary: 4 Stars
I enjoyed this movie. Luftwaffe pilot Franz von Werra's escape attemps, while a bit over simplified, appear to be very accurate. The movie ends when von Werra reaches the U.S., even though there was much more to the real story. It's a shame the full details of his return to Germany could have not been included.
Hardy Kruger is excellent in his role as von Werra. The remainder of the cast, both British and Germans, are not remarkable.
Persons interested in WWII will enjoy the movie, and find that it's well worth the purchase price.
Movie Review: Great Film!
Summary: 4 Stars
In this film Kruger plays a Luftwaffe pilot (von Wirra) who is shot down over England. He is determined to make it back and fight again and his attempts to escape ultimately lead to his distinction as the only German pilot to return to combat after being held as a POW of the British. The suspense is not as dramatic as in other films but perhaps a bit more realistic. At one point he even makes it to the cockpit of a Hurricane! An interesting movie, filmed in black and white. WWII movies always seemed more real to me when they are in black and white.Movie Review: A true story about the other side
Summary: 4 Stars
A very different film in as much as the hero is a shot down German pilot in World War 2 Britain.This pilot actually got away in real life from the prison camp and returned to Germany.A touch of British fair play here.Someone who tried against impossible odds and got away.Almost a shame in real life he was killed in action later in the war.An interesting and engaging film. Worth being in anybodies dvd collection.Movie Review: THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY
Summary: 4 Stars
I WAS BUMBED THAT THE DVD HAD CUT OUT ABOUT THE LAST 15 MINUTES OF THE MOVIE ,THE PART OF THE FILM WHHERE HE LEAVES THE COTTAGE WAVING TO HIS WIFE AND THEN DIPES THE WING OF HIS 109 OVER THE COTTAGE AND HEADS OUT OVER THE NORTH SEA NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN. I THINK THAT WAS THE MOST HUMAN AND EMOTIONAL PART OF THE FILM

Movie Review: Dave
Summary: 2 Stars
A typical world war II propoganda style film being made just prior to our entry into the war and in the same vein as that of the Purple Heart film made right after our surprise bombing of Tokyo. The film is based on a true story of a escaped german wwII prisoner setting his sights on the then nuetral USA. An OK film.
