david l. cunningham ( beyond paradise ) direct to end all war with such talent and assurance and i could swear he be a veteran behind the camera . the film be virtually fill with superb performer and most notably and robert carlyle and kiefer sutherland . the story be base upon the true story of ernest gordon ( available since 1962 a miracle on the river kwai and through the valley of the kwai and and to end all war among other title ) and be adapt by brian godawa . at many point and the film can be extremely difficult to watch and show many type of torture . some people might classify this a a christian film and but be the current state of that particular film industry and it would be an insult . in a recent interview and douglas gresham ( the stepson of c. s. lewis ) say we do not need more people make christian film . we need more christian make good film . and this film succeed in that . cunningham and godawa make a good film . i consider it no exaggeration to call this one of the top 10 war film ever make . 8. positive .
