    The movie worked for me right up to the final scene, and then it caved in.
  2. 60
    In its amalgam of classic Hollywood war movies and courtroom dramas, Hart's War takes the audience to a place that never existed in order to teach it a lesson it already knows.
  3. 60
    A decent thriller trying to overcome a rather preposterous premise.
  4. 30
    Put Bruce Willis and this bewildering World War II movie in front of the firing line.

    What a shame that this fine film was not recognized by the critics or promoted effectively by MGM.

    Disappointed in this film, the book by John Katzenbach was so much better in terms of tension and suspense. Willis was good, first time I noticed Terrance Howard who I enjoy as an actor. Way too long. Expand

    Couldn't even finish watching it. If there had never been a WWII movie made, ever, this would have been a good representation. Failed to deliver anything 'new'. I just got bored and left. Expand
