We were really looking forward to this film but were left very dissapointed.
Even the posters featuring Spitfires and the children running towards a steam train seem to be totally missleading as neither feature in the film.
The film is almost totally focused on a young black GI on the run because he has been a victim of racism with MP's and the charm of the original film where the kids spend their time watching the trains go by - sadly they seem to spend all their time hanging around in a railyard full of empty freight.
It was a watchable film but not one i would rush out to see again - not like the original which I can watch over and over again.
