One of the greatest war films ever made

Date of Review:  Feb 10, 2000
Review: Am I the only one who finds that the best war movies were all made quite a long time ago? The Guns of Navarone, The Great Escape, The Magnificent Seven and now this film, far surpass 99% of what is served up today.

One of the greatest war...

They don't get much better than THIS......

Date of Review:  Nov 7, 1999
Review: The Bridge on the River Kwai is one of the greatest war films of all time, placing right up there with All Quiet on the Western Front, Apocalypse Now and Platoon. What makes it so great? The Bridge captures the subject of POWs and the war in Japan...

One of the top war movies of our time

Date of Review:  Nov 8, 1999
Review: "The Bridge on the River Kwai" is one of those war films that is excellent from the very start. This film will be ranked with "The Guns of Navarone", "All's Quiet on the Western Front", "Run Silent, Run Deep", "Das Boot" and "Apocalypse Now" in the...

Madness indeed

Date of Review:  Jul 6, 2000
Review: Until "Saving Private Ryan" came out two years ago, "Bridge over the River Kwai" was certainly the best English-language film originally in color about World War II. It doesn't show the civilian suffering as well as "Schindler's List;" the only...

Bridge on the River Kwai: Dynamite!

Date of Review:  Feb 23, 2000
The Bottom Line: Winner of Seven Oscars, Bridge on the River Kwai belongs on the top shelf of your video cabinet!
Review: Bridge on the River Kwai concerns itself with a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp in Burma. The Japanese commander (Sessue Hayakawa) wants the mostly British prisoners to build a bridge. The commander of the prisoners (Alec Guinness) is a martinet and...

Bridge on the River Kwai: Whistle while you work.

Date of Review:  Sep 22, 2002
The Bottom Line: To quote the film trailer: "The film that must be seen. And seen again".
Review: In 1957, a movie was premiered that was the most awe-inspiring of its time. It was a massive project, involving a collaboration of several countries and the building of a bridge, then the largest single prop used for a film. It was the movie that...

Sir Alec Guiness's Legacy Lives "On the River Kwai"

Date of Review:  May 26, 2001
The Bottom Line: Alec Guiness lives on here, and he's got the acting, script, action, score, and directing to help carry his torch.
Review: From the second the Brits first came marching in whistling the "Col. Bogey March," I knew, just by the grandeur of that underplayed scene alone, that I had found a gem. How right I was.
The acting here is among the best ever. Alec Guiness is...

Bridge on the River Kwai: Old School Alec Guinness

Date of Review:  Aug 27, 2000
The Bottom Line: One of the finest performances in cinema by Guinness that should be seen by those who only know Guinness as Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Review: I recently had the pleasure of seeing Bridge on the River Kwai on the big screen. Say what you will, but to me, the big screen adds so much to a movie-viewing experience, in particular movies such as this one, set during World War II in the hot,...

The Bridge on the Railway of Death

Date of Review:  Apr 8, 2001
The Bottom Line: Cinematography and effects were state of the art in it's day. BOTRK is still the grand-daddy of the Wartime Action Genre.
Review: Having had the privilege of attending one of the premier showings of this movie in Bangkok, Thailand in 1957, I must admit that this flawed masterpiece is still one of my favorites. I saw it with my Dad, a WW II veteran who fought the Japanese in...

Noble Film Whose Execution Is Flawless!

Date of Review:  May 18, 2000
Review: The Bridge on the River Kwai is a noble film whose execution is flawless.

The great Alec Guinness plays Colonel Nicholson, a British commander imprisoned in a Japanese prisoner of war camp during the Second World War. His Japanese...
