Adult and war version of To Kill A Mockingbird

Rating: 6/10 (21 January 2010)

Hart's War is one of the average movies that doesn't have an original story lines but make you enjoy the movie because of the twists and plot. What I like in this movie is the message about racism in the army. The story is about a lieutenant in a German POW camp asked to defend an African-America man accused of killing another US POW mate. I have seen many courtroom drama and I am pretty sure that this is an adult and violent version of To Kill a Mockingbird.
Even though this is a courtroom-ish drama, this is also a POW story. Like many POW stories we already have a slight idea in our heads how this ends.
About the performance, I'd say they were okay. Colin Farrell's performance is good enough for me. Bruce Willis' one is outstanding.
Overall this movie is likable but it doesn't leave a mark in our minds that makes us remember about this movie in our lifetime.
