IMDb 7.1 Metacritic 59 RT 67%

The Railway Man is a solid historical drama that hits the marks of a good revenge story, but the mixed critical reception (67% RT) suggests it never quite transcends its heavy subject matter into something truly memorable. Watch it if you're in the mood for a serious, well-acted WWII tale, but don't expect it to blow your mind.
