The 12th Man

Truly gripping, the lead deserves an Oscar! A must see film.

Un película extraordinaria,una historia extraordinaria,una fotografía extraordinaria,la adaptación del libro extraordinaria,lo chistoso es que los supuesto "súper críticos",hablan bien de ella Pero califican mal pff

This struck me as a bit of a combination in terms of the plot and setting/circumstances of both The Revenant and The Book Thief (and also slightly of another perhaps less well known film called 'Another Mothers Son'). Its undoubtedly a bleak watch - at times there's not much dialogue (which, for me, were subtitles given its partly in Norwegian, German and Saami, although there is some English, I wouldn't say its the main language spoken throughout, I consider this more of a world cinema title) and often we can hear the obvious extreme discomfort of the titular character, having to try to cope with their injuries while evading re-capture, by befriending locals. For a fair number of scenes, there is quite dark (if much at all) lighting, so we can't always make out everything going on (for example, in scenes set at night) but then for some that may be a bit of a blessing if you wouldn't like to be subject to every detail. I'd certainly say that this is an effectively atmospheric film regardless. However, lighting aside - it does feature some scenes depicting bloody injuries, although I wouldn't say its over the top in terms of extreme graphic detail but if your particularly squeamish about seeing or hearing people in distress with bloody injuries, then you may well prefer to not watch this, of course. I certainly thought it was an interesting story - I like seeing how people with very few options deal with being in the place, with the people, they find themself surrounded by and what happens to them. Of course the fact its based on a true story made it even more compelling for me and I also liked some of the landscape shots/cinematography. Overall, yes I would recommend this film.

Yet an another killer combo 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Incredible story about the will to survive.

Was kind of hoping our hero would end up with the sister of the guy that helped him get over the mountain.

Really good movie with some pretty cinematography.

great story of survive

Disturbingly brutal but uplifting at the same time. Excellent acting across the board. Subtitles do not detract from the emotions of the actors. The guy who plays the fanatical and murderous SS Officer Stage is truly scary. Not for the squeamish.

It is a good movie. Except! 1) It is 2 hours of one man trying to escape. 2) people who have no idea who he is risk their lives, swim in freezing water, ski over mountains, and risk their children's lives, for this unknown man, and 3) entire Germain troops, officers and Gestapo dedicate their entire days trying to find this one man. Really? It was not believable, even if a true story, and all too much to watch.
