Industry Reviews

"...The all-star DAY holds up as a respectable portrayal of the event..."
USA Today - Mike Clark (11/05/1999)
"...John Sturges' robust POW actioner follows the template he set with THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN... .It's turns from Dickie Attenborough and David McCallum that provide the heart..."
