Description:
Kiefer Sutherland and Robert Carlyle star in this explosive war film based on an amazing true story. Captured by the Japanese, a group of courageous soldiers are forced to build the infamous "Railway of Death" between Thailand and Burma during the height
Amazon.com:
A Japanese P.O.W. camp during World War II becomes the battleground for the souls as well as the lives of its Scottish and British prisoners. Based on a true story, To End All Wars centers around Ernest Gordon (Ciaran McMenamin), a young soldier who wants to teach philosophy. When Gordon recovers from seeming death by illness, the other prisoners agree to become Grodon's pupils, studying Plato, Shakespeare, and the Bible. Gordon's superior officer, Ian Campbell (Robert Carlyle, Trainspotting, The Full Monty), scoffs at the increasingly pacificist bent of Gordon's teachings. Jim Reardon (Kiefer Sutherland, 24, Freeway), a lone American running a black market, is equally skeptical. But under the relentless brutality of the camp, the only way for the soldiers to survive is to find what gives their lives meaning. The strong performances of To End All Wars makes this moral conflict as vivid as any gun battle. --Bret Fetzer

In the movie, ... Read More

I came across the wonderful masterpiece by happenstance of "surfing" lists on Amazon. Seeing that the vast majority of the reviews were five stars and the film had Kiefer Sutherland, I decided to purchase "To End All Wars." I am so glad I did.
In preparing to write this review, I read the other reviews, starting with the one star reviews, to see what had already been emphasized--both positive and negative. I was taken aback at many of the comments made, and the "controversies" many ... Read More

It's rare these days to find a well done movie with great value to it. I don't know that I can say more without a really long review. The acting is great. The pain and sacrifice and humility in this film are incredible. Definately toward the top of 'films to watch that make you think.'

This is a very difficult film to watch because of the graphic violence and sadistic tortures of war, but overall is a very beautiful, thought provoking work. The message more than redeems every moment of painful viewing. The international cast is wonderful.

Over the years there have been a number of anti-war movies made. Each took the perspective of why it was bad and the consequences of those who would wage war. The outlook of this film differs in that it talks about the suffering of man, the ability of man to rise above his experiences and the way man can find humanity in himself.
The film is narrated by Ernest Gordon (Ciaran McMenamin), a young man who joins the army because it was the right thing to do, only to find himself a prisoner ... Read More
