- Synopsis:
It has been a long time since Caine (Dennis Waterman), Bronson (James Cromwell), Angus (Jack Thompson) and Wendell (Shane Jacobson), aka, 'The Chain Breakers', escaped the torturous Vietnamese POW camp. They now find themselves sharing a new prison, The Hogan Hills Retirement Home for Returned Veterans. Each of the boys has an unrealised dream they want to achieve. So they band together to devise a plan to escape this new hell. But the rules of engagement have changed, in fact, they can't even remember what they were and that's half the problem. 'Never Too Late' is a cross between 'Grumpy Old Men' and 'The Great Escape', about four mates reconciling after years apart to teach each other that it's never too late to chase your dreams. - Actors:

Sweet Comedy Drama - Never Too Late review by GI
A comedy drama featuring sweet, grumpy old men. Set in Australia this is a contrived story that occasionally pushes the boundaries of credibility but it doesn't really matter because its, amusing, sad and uplifting. Its also is the last role of Dennis Waterman, a stalwart of British TV and who sadly died this year. Four former soldiers, who famously escaped from a Vietnamese POW camp, find themselves, for various reasons, in a retirement home for veterans located in Australia. They each have some form of disability including dementia but they need to break out for individual reasons of their own. Ultimately though the planning and attempts give them a new zest for life. Their many efforts are foiled by the ever watchful manager and her security staff. James Cromwell, Dennis Waterman, Roy Billing and Jack Thompson play the four supported by the great Jackie Weaver. The script has some great lines and it will make you laugh out loud. An unpretentious little film that is well worth an afternoon's viewing.
