Unrealistic....But Hey, It's Hollywood!

Rating: 8/10 (11 March 2009)

If you like action and Bruce Willis, this is the movie for you. If you like history and you expect something similar to "Saving Private Ryan", you will be disappointed. I am choosing to review this with "Hollywood" in mind.
This film takes place in the German POW camps. The main focus are the American prisoners led by Bruce Willis and Colin Farrell. The camp is running fine with the exception of Nazis guarding them. The status quo is changed when two black men arrived at camp.
The acting is pretty good. Bruce Willis and Colin Farrell did an excellent job. Marcel Iures literally creeps you out as the Nazi leader of the camp.
Now, this movie is unrealistic. I don't believe that the Nazis would allow the Americans to live in peace or comfort and diss Hitler as they did in this movie.
Overall, this is a good movie. I have seen better war movies, but this movie is not designed to win an Oscar. I rate this movie 8/10.
