7/10
Goes off track, but still fairly enjoyable.

First off i enjoyed the film as a whole, Colin Firth is....well he is Colin Firth; he's a great actor, always is. And he plays his part well, just as Jeremy Irvine does as the young Eric Lomax. Everyone plays their parts well. Now there is a lot of back and forth between wither the film is accurate or not. People say Nicole Kidman's part as Patricia has been tampered with and documentaries and such back that up, and then Patricia Lomax herself comes out and says it's accurate so the argument is lost in the shuffle.

Wither it is truly accurate or not it is still a good film. There are parts where it loses your focus and becomes rather dull and whilst it tries to stay on track it does become derailed slightly. You find yourself on the same journey as Lomax, what would you do it that circumstance? could you forgive someone who stood by and watched you being tortured at their order? I'll leave out the outcome as some may not know the story and wish to find out for themselves.

It is a good film and worth the watch.
