Painfully clichéd mix of "Hogan's Heros" and "A Few Good Men"

Rating: 2/10 (14 February 2002)

A fizzling display of tired clichés mixed with ludicrous plot developments makes the under-whelming performances of both Bruce Willis and Colin Farell fall flat on their faces. Employing every WWII stereotype in the book, this movie's drudging march takes us to a German POW camp (reminiscent of "Hogan's Heros") where the Nazi commandant is less in control than an imprisoned US colonel (Bruce Willis). Through a drawn-out mock court marshal that plays heavily on race themes, we suffer through unlikely plot twists that make the viewer roll their eyes simply wish for the movie's end.
