Colin Firth and Nicole Kidman star in this movie based on the true story of a British World War II veteran and former prisoner of the Japanese, tormented after the war by his past, who tracks down one of his wartime torturers, and ultimately forgives and reconciles with him. Kidman portrays the protagonist's later-in-life romantic interest and then wife, who believed in him and helped him through his postwar struggles.
An interesting and well-acted historical drama about the savagery of war and its traumatic aftermath, as well as the healing possibilities of forgiveness. Recommended.
