More than a war story

Rating: 9/10 (15 February 2002)

This movie was long (slightly over 2 hours) and a little drawn out in spots. None-the-less, it's message was loud and clear. Hollywood is beginning to expose, in depth, the plight of the black man -- perhaps offering additional perspective into the problems between blacks and whites today. Bruce Willis gives an outstanding performance as does Terrence Dashon Howard as the black lieutenant who was framed and Colin Farrel as the Lieutenant who defended him. I classify this movie as HEAVY but worth seeing. There is much to be learned from Hart's War.
