I didn't know German prison camps were so comfortable

Rating: Null/10 (12 May 2003)

There were so many things that just didn't make sense. Like why are the Alli planes shooting at train cars that say POW on top. Why don't they call in troops to free the POWs. Why are the POWs so orderly and clean in the German prison camp. Why do they get along so well with the German soldiers who execute prisoners when they want too. I didn't know Germans who were close to losing the war would be so willingly to give the Americans all their rights, like a right to a trial. All of this is just pure rubbish.
The only positive thing is Colin Farrell, not because he is good in this, but because he has been good in other movies. I didn't like Bruce Willis in this role. He just isn't a good dramatic actor.
(SPOILERS): When Willis turns himself in at the end to die for the other soldiers, are we supposed to cry or something? The plot was written too poorly to really care what happens to these people. Willis should have been a stronger character.(END OF SPOILERS)
FINAL VERDICT: No wonder this big budget movie was such a box office flop. It isn't emotional enough and just too many inaccuracies. And don't expect any war action. Best to avoid this one.
