“The Great Escaper” Review
Based on a true story and reportedly is Michael Caine’s final film performance, though like most actors there’s likely a few projected that he filmed previously in post production limbo or in a vault somewhere. As far as final performances go, there aren’t many as emotional and well done as this.
Sidenote that I think this is the first time that I’ve ever run into a situation where the same exact biographical story was adapted in a movie during the same year, with this one coming out just a month before Pierce Brosnan’s “The Last Rifleman”, which I haven’t seen yet but I understand to be the less well received of the two.
