Excellent despite its press., 20 May 2002
Author: eaglejet98

Not the usual Steve McQueen fare for sure, but look beyond trying to see the actor in "The Magnificent Seven" or the "Great Escape" and you'll see an excellent movie with a message.

Watch it on a cold night with your wife/girlfriend when you don't have to get up early the next day.
