With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Great for anyone who loves a story about hope against the odds and people who like stories about real, flawed people. The walls close in, and so does the tension. Same wavelength as Bronson or I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 9 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1943: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
Five defense workers on their way to the munitions factory tell their stories: a refugee from the French Resistance, a frustrated race car driver, a prison warden, a former Miss America, and an intellectual who dropped out of society and saw the country as a bum.
