Exodus
Inspired by Leon Uris' international bestseller, this "extraordinarily moving" (The New Republic) chronicle of the rebirth of a people and the establishment of a nation is the ultimate experience in human drama. Nominated* for three Academy Awards® and winner* for Best Score, Exodus is an "exciting, dramatic, scenic, panoramic and deeply moving" (New York Daily News) masterpiece. Ari Ben Canaan (Paul Newman), a commander of the Israeli underground, manages to lead 600 Jews from the detention camps of Cyprus onto a large freighter bound for Palestine. But British forces soon learn of his plan and insist that he turn back. Undaunted, Ari and his passengers refuse to give up, risking their lives for the greater cause of Israeli independence. more

Awful by today's standards
I just watched this film tonight on TCM. It is terrible. Cinematography mediocre, even Paul Newman's acting is as bad as I've ever seen, and Trumbo's script and dialogue may be worse (if possible) than Spartacus. Now I now why the "new Hollywood" rennaisance took place. After watching this...

Great movie on historic theme.
One of Newman's best (of many). Breathtaking scenes and a full-blown cast of supporting actors. High marks for Eva Marie Saint. Excellent theme and story line. Marvelous support from Sal Mineo, Lee J. Cobb and David Opatoshu.

great take on history
Movie is long but it sure does give you a view of how poorly people were treated. It was great to see how their belief kept them strong

Okay, but not up to book
This story is both long and complex. Unfortunately, it is too long and complex for one full-length movie. The movie, overall does as good a job as can be done, for the excellent Leon Uris story.As for acting, Paul Newman does an okay job. Eva Marie-Saint does her normal exceptional job, as well...

Otto Preminger revisited...an excellent film....
I saw this film a long, long time ago (in a VHS, pan and scan copy, ugh), but I recently saw Otto Preminger's The Cardinal, which I really liked. I usually don't like Preminger's work, as I found it too long and too self important. But after seeing The Cardinal, I went back and revisited his...

Never forget!
Most people don't think of Exodus when they think of epic movies. And, maybe it's not a true epic, maybe a mini-epic. The re-foundation of Israel in 1948 was nothing short of a miracle. The film does a nice job of showing the struggle of post-WW2 Jews re-founding their nation. Enjoy.

Watch Out! Non-Anamorphic!
Just a warning: as if a bad transfer wasn't enough, it's not anamorphic. In times of widescreen TVs that is just plain stupid. Stay away until proper treatment of this movie is accorded to it. 3 stars for the movie; 0 Stars for the DVD.

Exodus
Outstanding review of the Jewish community struggles in the early years in obtaining their freedom.

Fracture
The story is brilliant as it is a cat and mouse game with a lot of thick plots involving an amateur prosecutor who desperately seeked a justice against an elusive and clever murderer.
