Hart’s War is a prisoner-of-war movie. It’s also a murder mystery, a courtroom drama and it is pervaded by themes of intolerance and racism. When a film combines all these elements it has much to keep us involved. There is intolerance from the other men when Lt Tommy Hart (Colin Farrell), educated at Yale and son of a US senator, is billeted with them at the German war camp, Stalag VIA after his commanding officer, Col William McNamara (Bruce Willis) tells him that the officers’ quarters are full. As far as the suspicious enlisted men are concerned, Hart is not one of them. His background has kept him away from the fighting, and he has been brought to the camp after being ambushed by Germans while driving an officer on a routine mission. Before his transportation to the camp, he has been questioned and McNamara has doubts about the outcome of that interrogation.
