One of the all-time great submarine movies, so terrific it even had this Yiddish Yank rooting for the Nazi Navy. |

Three Kings succeeds magnificently as cockeyed caper movie, less so as metaphor for America’s abortive involvement in Iraq following the Persian Gulf War. The former unspools propulsively as George Clooney’s disgruntled commando leads a ragtag crew on a crazy hunt for Saddam Hussein’s gold. T…

POW movies – especially WWII POW movies – are an esteemed genus of the War movie family, and Hart’s War adds proudly to the trove. Upstanding story, well and directly told, complete with workmanlike movie star performance by Old Block Head himself, Bruce Willis. |
