BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
Flyerplesys Perfectly adorable
Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Iseerphia All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.
waskilywabbid To try and reproduce a former classic is getting out of hand what directors have no insite to new subjects ? Leave the classics alone
Michael Davies Well worthy of your time a very gritty and intense remake
svhot "Papillon" is based on a true story of a French thief who becomes friends with one of his fellow prison mates, and together they plan an escape. It is the remake of the 1973 movie of the same name.Hunnam, who plays the main protagonist, gives a brilliant performance. He is an intelligent actor who has given his own original touch to the role. He plays the role with a lot of realism and intensity. The surprise package of "Papillon" is Rami Malek, who plays Hunnam's friend. He has given an outstanding performance that challenges the one originally done by the great Dustin Hoffman.The direction is effective and the original atmosphere of the 1973 flick has been captured well enough.
michaeljtrubic Our characters years of isolation and desolation were remarkably well balanced with action sequencesExcellent character design and performancesThe young director director really had a flair for keeping the subject matter interesting and not overwhelming bleak as one would thinkMy best film on this first day of Tiff 2017I think Rami Malek might get a best supporting Oscar nod for this role to go alongside his Emmy - he was brilliantDustin Hoffman should take note of this performanceVery good achievement in film.
