1990 brought us a genuine piece of work with this one. I must say bring tissues — you'll need them.

Walked in curious, walked out amazed. A fair 7.8 — no complaints here.

It is so soporific. The storyline demonstrates and exposes the prevailing attitudes of both cultures towards the other, of their suspicions and mistrust - and were the "Dunbar" role to have been portrayed by a more heavyweight screen presence, then we could have had a memorable movie rather than just a long one. He simply doesn't convey well the senses of loneliness, fear and joy that his character experiences as he gradually becomes subsumed into a new - sometimes rather brutal - identity.

I wanted to love this more than I did. I'd recommend it with caveats.

Let me tell you, the soundtrack elevates every emotional beat. I'll be watching this again, guaranteed.

Let me tell you, phenomenal screen presence from every cast member. 1990 brought us a genuine piece of work with this one. This one's going straight into my favorites.
