The Railway Man

Crit

Colin Firth works hard as a man still traumatized decades later by the torture he suffered at the hands of his Japanese captors after the fall of Singapore, and Nicole Kidman works almost as hard as the newly divorced woman he meets on a train, then stalks successfully at another train station, but this tale of suffering and reconciliation feels rote despite their efforts.

Trailers

• Tracks--A young woman (Mia Wasikowska) walks 2,000 miles across Australia with 4 camels and a dog. Oh, don't ask why,
• The Grand Seduction--Haven't we seen this before, the little British Isles town trying to trick a young doctor into settling there? What we haven't seen is Taylor Kitsch (Friday Night Lights) as the doctor.
