Terrible!

Rating: 5/10 (7 September 2006)

Hart's War is a bad movie. Its boring, it rips-off and tries to copy movies like Stalag 17 and The Great Escape without having any of their intellect or style. What makes it worse is that the film seems to feel it has a message. There are numerous sub-plots, not one them interesting or fleshed out. The trial is unimpacting and the end is a cop-out.
If the film were merely stupid and unoriginal, it may still be watchable on a quiet evening with nothing better to do. But Hart's War is boring. All the actor's - especially Bruce Willis - look totally out of place and wooden. Bruce Willis has lived out his career and may have done this for the money. Terence Howard was still up and coming (hopefully Crash will change that). But Colin Farrell! He is such a talented actor and appeared in a really good war movie called Tigerland. So why waste time with such a lame script. Skip this one.
