Advantages: Absolutely superb acting and a film that takes your breath away
Disadvantages: NONE !

..., courage, fortitude and the capacity to see beyond the horrific conditions of prison life in the 40’s and 50’s. As the film progresses at a steady pace, which is vital to the film, we see the characters develop and the friendship growing stronger as all the characters age. This film is truly inspirational and has many twists in the tale. The more times I watch it; I appreciate the various sub plots, and get to know the strength of the characters.

The run of four years has led 'We Will Rock You' to be he longest running musical to grace the Dominion Theatre's stage. THE DVD Their almost cult status led to the release of the 2002 DVD 'Greatest Video Hits'- a 2 DVD collection. Having paid £12.99 for the collection I was expecting great things, and I was not disappointed!
