Army of ghosts

Beforehand (I had merely seen the cover), I thought this movie was about two travellers - Colin Firth and Nicole Kidman - who fall in love on the train and chitchat to eternity about politics and literature. Well no, it wasn't like that. Eric Lomax (Firth) is a railway enthusiast alright, but with a haunting past that leads us all the way to the labor camps in WWII Thailand (Kanchanaburi) where the Japanese tortured allied forces to pulp.

Don't get lost in the clouds

Pretty good. Perhaps a little more than that. Nothing excellent though. A CIA decoder has a lot to do, he has to find and kill his wife'...
