Hart's War (2002)

Hart's War (2002, USA) C-125m. SCOPE *** D: Gregory Hoblit. Starring Bruce Willis, Colin Farrell, Terrence Howard, Cole Hauser, Marcel Iures, Linus Roache. Months before the end of World War Two, an American lieutenant is captured by the Germans and brought to a prison camp led by Nazi Iures. There he meets Colonel Willis, the U.S. officer with the highest rank. When two black pilots are captured and brought to the camp, racism among the prisoners leads to murder. Engrossing war film is a court-room drama at its core. First half of the film is a little aimless but final third is compelling stuff. A well-acted film, especially by Iures, who's frighteningly good. Based upon the novel by John Katzenbach.
