Hart's War (2002)
Well crafted and thoughtful entertainment
I recently had the good fortune of seeing an advanced screening of Hart's War. It took a good half hour for me to warm up to it but once the many plots twists took hold, I was pretty well hooked. Collin Farrell displays a good deal of screen charisma as Lt. Hart. Surprisingly, Bruce Willis is in a supporting role. Although the trailers I have seen would lead you to believe otherwise.
The story takes some surprising turns and that is one of the strengths of the movie. I won't spoil it by giving away too much.
As a student of history, particularly World War Two, I have to say that I really enjoyed this movie, not just for the original story line but the mood cast by the photography and the music score.
I highly recommend Hart's War as an intelligent, entertaining movie.
8.5 out of 10
