Entertaining enough prison camp movie; lots of big issues; capped by the usual soldier-boy to soldier-man preachiness.

Rating: Null/10 (1 August 2002)

A decent cast, loaded plot and preachy dialogue about duty, honor and the like. It's OK as these things go, with Colin Farrell's soldier boy becoming a soldier man, thanks to the heroics of Officer Bruce Willis. There's a lot of fashionable heroics and good taste (for what that's worth). It's definitely not as good as STALAG 17 or THE GREAT ESCAPE.
