Reviews for Hart's War
As old-fashioned as it can get, a throwback to cinema's Golden Age and a tribute to the flawed, guilty human beings we call heroes.

As an American propagandistic attempt to market patriotism (or courage, or honor), it is arguably successful; by its own merits it is merely decent.

The movie's surplus of male-fraternizing never conveys that these Americans are under imminent danger and stress.

Proves a servicable World War II drama that can't totally hide its contrivances, but it at least calls attention to a problem Hollywood too long has ignored.

A perfectly respectable, perfectly inoffensive, easily forgettable film.
08/04/02
Starts out strongly before quickly losing its focus, point and purpose in a mess of mixed messages, over-blown drama and Bruce Willis with a scar.
08/04/02
A compact story told with focus and assurance.

Neither the film nor its characters break any new ground, but for most of its running time it is an intelligent and compelling prisoner-of-war story

...while it is an entertaining, well-plotted film, there's something missing that keeps it from reaching that higher plane.

A noble project, a prison camp movie jam-packed with plot, intrigue and good actors.

An exciting, thoughtful and adrenaline-pumping war picture that is provocative and different.

This is a well-written, well-acted and well-constructed film. Not a classic, but a worthy entry into the POW genre.

... the film becomes too preachy and obvious in its patriotic and do-gooder intentions.
