Hart's War Reviews and Ratings



  • December 20, 2009
    Mixes The Great Escape with To Kill A Mockingbird, completely fails to be in any way gripping or engaging and ends up a generic war movie that is easily, and best, forgotten. Nicht gut!

    La verdad la considero muy poco creible. Un juicio militar, bajo leyes americanas... en la Alemania del III Reich?
    Bah! patraņas! Solo un gringo se la cree!
    La parte buena: ya no ridiculizan tanto a los alemanes y los hacen ver mas humanos.

    It was great, until, the last scene in which it killed the whole beggining of the film.
  • September 23, 2009
    i liked this movie...he played a soldier better than i thought he would
  • September 5, 2009
    It is hard to belive that the americans had it that good in a concentration camp and even less that the germans have been that nice to them. Just fucking hollywood crap!

    Colin Farrell and Terrence Howard were very good in this, but Bruce Willis wasn't great.
  • August 8, 2009
    (2002 Director: Gregory Hobitt) Marcel Lures co-stars as the German Stalag prison camp leader. Tense war drama with Bruce Willis starring as the highest ranking U.S.officer in German prison camp. Lures is perhaps more human because he attended Yale, I'm not sure. Terence Howa...( read more)rd & another soldier, Lietenant ______ ( ) transfer into WIllis' detention rather soon after Colin Farrell's arrival.

    Not a bad movie even if it is a bit badly edited. Colin Farrell does a great job in this film and I really enjoyed it.

    I really don't know, where to place 'Hart's War'. The film starts as a normal POW (prisoner of war) movie, but when the second half begins, it turns into a courtroom drama.

    Gregory Hoblit, the director of 'Hart's War', has had somewhat of a rollercoaster type of career. After...( read more) a good movie, he gives us a poor one. He started his feature film career with the excellent 'Primal Fear', then came 'Fallen'. After these came ''Frequency', 'Hart's War', 'Fracture' and then 'Untraceable'. See what I mean? Almost came queasy...

    'Hart's War' does have some good scenes but in overall, the film is very uneven. The characters have almost zero depth in 'em. The film also tries to deal with racism but the whole issue was in the end buried beneath the screenwriters unimaginative end twist.

    Colin Farrell and Marcel Lures give nice performances but the rest of the cast seem to enjoy a nice holiday in a POW camp type of holiday resort. If I were a POW, I'd like to spend some time in a camp where the prisoners have their own theatre and leisure rooms. Pretty far fetched?

    'Hart's War', you'll love it or hate it. Or get bored as I did. For fans of Farrell and Willis only. Those who seek for something better, try a classic like 'Stalag 17'.

    Not a good film- nothing special about it in any way

    "Hart's War is being advertised as a war film, but it's not really that. Yes, it does take place in a Nazi Concentration Camp during World War II, but this film doesn't necessarily deal with the war that's going on. There are a few action scenes, but not many. Therefore, if you'r...( read more)e looking for a war movie with a lot of combat, check out Black Hawk Down, because Hart's War is essentially a courtroom drama.


    I've never been a big fan of courtroom dramas (most of them are tedious, or just plain boring), but Hart's War manages to be an involving, and at times, powerful experience. The movie deals with the issues of racism and how unfairly blacks were treated. It does this well, partially in thanks to an overall good script, and some very good performances by Colin Farrell, Bruce Willis, and Terrence Howard."

    top movie 10 out of 10

  • April 29, 2009
    This was quite a good film!
  • April 17, 2009
    This was yet another of the free movies I got when I bought a blu-ray player. I had never even heard of it before. Anyone who knows me knows I like law stuff. This story, even if it didn't quite make it was a good idea. The script writing was sub-par. The direction was pretty goo...( read more)d. And last, Bruce Willis and Colin Farrell did a solid job acting, but even though the lines for Terrence Howard were limited he did a great job. Overall, if you like a war movie or a law story, this will be time well spent. Just don't come in expecting a regular war movie.

    I just recently found this movie laying around in my movie collection and decided to watch it and I have to say I didnt think I would enjoy it but I did. I hate Colin Farrell but couldnt deny that he gave a good performance. Bruce Willis was brilliant in this film and always enjo...( read more)y watching Bruce Willis do his thing.Marcel Iures was also brilliant as Visser and found myself watching him a lot of the time steal the scene from Farrell and Willis in the private meetings the characters had. But out of all the people in this movie I found myself suprised to say that Terrence Howard absolutly stole the show from everyone else including Bruce Willis. I enjoyed this film and I am glad I found it laying around.

    This movie was better than I thought it would be. It's about honor. Very good. I don't like Collin Farrell but I liked him in this. Farrell plays Lt. Hart, a senators son with a cushy WW2 job. He gets captured by german soldiers. His life gets saved by the kids from entorage. Onc...( read more)e at the prison camp Bruce Willis (The Cornel) doesn't like him. Hart must defend a black fighter pilot on a murder rap. But all is not what it seems. Terrence Howard is once again great as a pilot. Twist and turns, some I saw didn't. Hart proves he's not the spoiled rich senators son the other GI's think he is. Once again a very good movie.

    No action scenes but an interesting plot, outstanding performances and great cast A-z.
    It's entertaining and I would like to watch it again.
  • February 4, 2009
    Good acting with an interesting subplot,could have used a little more action but still overall good movie.
  • January 22, 2009
    a lot of stuff gets shot at and blow up
  • January 20, 2009
    you don't want to miss this one if your a bruce Willis fan he pays a tough guy but in a different way
  • January 19, 2009
    Pues se dice que no es de lo mejor de Willis pero para mi gusto esta bastante bien es una de esas pelis que tiene de todo un poco y que si bien esta enmarcada en la guerra las batallas en el frente no son lo primordial
  • December 30, 2008
    good drama, well-acted
  • December 22, 2008
    se explica el significado de la palabra "honor"
  • December 18, 2008

  • December 7, 2008
    Tries to be clever. It isn't.
  • October 28, 2008
    1 of the most disappointing Willis' movies.
    Maybe it's a bit cause of Colin Farrell...
  • October 6, 2008
    surprising WW2 POW race issue courtroom drama (surprising as how the hell did he manage to get all that in a film!)
  • September 18, 2008
    Scenes with Jonathan Brandis, the kid from Seaquest DSV, were deleted leading to his suicide.
  • August 3, 2008
    Bruce and Colin where great in this film the story felt real... I enjoyed it.
  • July 23, 2008

  • June 3, 2008
    have u SEEN the ending? but..but.. BRUCR WILLIS CANT DIE!! perfect ending tho...
  • June 1, 2008
    Really good film about POW camp - bruce willis and colin farrell are always good to watch with excellent parts taken by terrence howard and others
  • May 24, 2008
    saw it and it was really good
  • May 1, 2008
    a lot is left unsaid in this movie throughout, so pay attention, because that's a big part of what makes it so good. it's cast perfectly, too.
  • April 21, 2008
    Powerful and killer.
  • April 21, 2008
    Interesting twist to the standard WWII POW fare which instead cleverly showcases the racial card as a ploy to the real objective of the film which is not revealed until the final reel. Bruce Willis does play a 'so-called' hero but not how we 'General'ly think when comparing this ...( read more)to his standard fanfare surrounding his more familiar action material.
  • April 19, 2008
    This was a really good movie pretty intense at times.
  • March 31, 2008
    undecided.. i love both colin and bruce
