Hart's War
(2002)
Directed by: Gregory Hoblit
PHOTOGRAPHY: Alar Kivilo
Synopsis:
The story takes place in Germany in 1944. The war has all but ended. Colonel William McNamara is still fighting his war, while Lieutenant Thomas Hart is only beginning his. This is an impressive story about heroism. The director had great support from two excellent actors: Colin Farrell, extremely convincing as an inexperienced young soldier, and the brilliant Bruce Willis. The result is a must-see film.
