This movie was really good. Sad, crazy, intense, but good. Two thumbs up from me.

I watched this and it was okay. I read the website that the family and the other survivor put up to protest the depiction of one of the men, and the way they changed the story to make Dieter this big brilliant hero, when the other guys were already working on an escape plan and could open their shackles. They also totally ditched Dieter's German accent which I thought was strange. Anyway, I guess I took it with a grain of salt after reading this: http://www.rescuedawnthetruth.com/
