Worst POW movie ever!

Rating: 1/10 (3 September 2007)

I usually like Bruce Willis movies, even when critics and others don't, but not this one. I don't insist on total historical accuracy in a movie, but I can't stand it when a critical element of the plot is something I know is a total historical fabrication. The way the German POW system was organized had the Wermacht (German Army) in charge of ground forces POWs, the Luftwaffe (German Air Force) in charge of air forces POWs, and the Kriegsmarine (German Navy) in charge of naval POWs. So the Germans would never have sent pilots, (regardless of their race), to a ground forces POW camp, even temporarily. It would have violated both German military regulations and their sense of "alles en ordnung". This totally ruined the movie for me.
