Frankly, I underestimated this one as it was a TV movie and had a low rating. But I was wrong. Both the plot and storytelling hold up pretty well. The movie has an average pacing all through. It feels like a very engrossing drama series that you don't want it to end. Acting is very natural and the characters are relatable. Alan Arkin and Rutger Hauer perform a good job here. What I liked most is that no part of the movie feels like overdramatization. Some subplots are very interesting, such as, whether true or not, welcoming of new arrivals at the train station. Finally, I think this is one of the greatest WW2 escape movies and it is vastly underrated.
