I'm a history buff in real life and I love these types of war movies. I was expecting to be a bit bored when I decided to sit down and watch this but boy was I wrong. This is one of the greatest war movies I've ever seen. Also for 2002, the cinematography is so beautiful. Now the trailer and name of this movie were pretty misleading, as the actual main plot of this movie follows a courtroom drama to cover up and distract from a sabotage mission. It also mostly takes place in a POW camp.
I absolutely love the uniforms the characters in the movie are wearing, they're historically accurate. It's a lot easier than you'd think to take Bruce Willis and Collin Farrell seriously as World War 2 soldiers. Also while this movie does have subplots and filler, unlike a lot of other movies with that, this one actually managed to make the subplots and filler interesting and not boring.
Overall, a really good World War 2 courtroom drama film, it's way better than it really has any right to be.
