...What makes "12th Man" such a great movie is that it depicts a story about survival and the director/ casts have managed to show that with pinpoint accuracy.
......The struggle with movies based on true story, is that you almost always know everything about the story and you already kinda know how things are gona turn out. "12th Man" begs to differ, slowly without skipping important details, it unravels how the man survived the escape from the Germans. Step by step, it shows us the struggles he succumbed, the nearly impossible odds he faced and you can fill down to your bones that the struggle was real.
.....The way the scenes are arranged is magnificent. The way the movie starts with the leadstar holding top secret document and as a watched you are immediately drowned into story. It leaves in you suspense about the opening scene and carries all the way through the survival story. The make up, the acting and the details of how a man running from the Nazi with gangrenous foot out in the cold would look like are amaizing. From the red eyes, the nightmares, the hallucination, I swear the director didn't rush anything at all.
...I love Christopher Nolan's movies, he is a great director but I would choose this survival story over Dunkirk anyday.
