Anyone else seen this movie?

I DVR'd it & watched it last night. I thought it was a good flick

Collin Farrel is a Lt that tracked fuel supplies & other supplies info during WWII who is the son of a Senator. He is stationed ina HQ away from the action.

He is asked to take a Cpt to his troops near the front line.

As they are making their way, they come upon an MP post at a road crossing where they are ambushed by German troops.

Farrell gets captured & becomes a POW.

When he gets to the POW camp he meets Col McNamara (in charge of the POWs) Bruce Willis.

They have a falling out & Farrell gets sent to the enlisted men's bunkhouse.

A few weeks go by & 2 black officers are captured & sent to the POW camp.

There is race tesnion between the 2 black officers & some of the white enlisted men.

The story goes on (I don't want to ruin anything)...

I thought this was a really good movie. I thought Farrell did a good job & Willis was a good selection for McNamara.

That's exacly what happened to me. The wife doesn't like war movies.

For me, there is nothing better! I Tivo'd it (DVR actually) & watched it when she was sleeping.

Finally got to watch the entire movie and enjoyed it. The ending kind of caught me off guard which was cool.

My favorite scene was the POW's watching a dog fight above their compound. It was a unique perspective to watch a dog fight from the ground. Thought it was kind of cool.
