Die Flucht (2007)
It rings true
All of my family were part Die Flucht and the film captures much of their experience in a fair degree of accuracy. I managed to watch the film with my mother before she died and she felt it was true to the story though because she was in the Poznan, their escape was on train in January 1945.
One of my aunts was on the roads in January 1945 with her parents and grandmother. The were caught by the Soviets. Her father, my grandfather, was shot of out of hand. She said the story was accurate in the portrayal of the events.
The one thing my mother and aunt did not like in the film was the added love story between Maria Furtwangler's character and the French POW. They felt it added nothing to the film was only a pointless distraction
In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2007)
My son worked as an extra on the film and that is not enough to make me want to watch it
Awful is the only word for the film.
My son was an extra so I had to be on set while he was in the film. What I saw of the production that day did not inspire confidence the film would be at all decent. There was little no consideration being given to how the scenes should work or have continuity between takes
When we finally watched it when was screened here in Victoria and it was worse than I could have imagined. In some of the scenes I could see the problems with the continuity caused by no attention to any detail.
The plot is more or less missing for the movie which leaves you ask Why? most of the time.
Burt Reynolds as the king is so bad as to almost be funny.
The only actors that brought anything to the film were Jason Statham and Ron Perlman
