Harts War   Now Available
A law student who becomes a lieutenant during World War II, is captured and asked to defend a black prisoner of war falsely accused of murder. Part war film, part courtroom thriller, part racial drama, this complex film is not a Bruce Willis action vehicle, despite the cover shot. In fact, its more about Colin Farrell (MINORITY REPORT, TIGERLAND) who once again proves himself one of the most commanding talents in the industry today. This is a terrific drama.
