Reviews

Hart's War has received mixed reviews from critics. While some praise its powerful performances and thought-provoking narrative, others criticize its pacing and lack of emotional depth. The New York Times described it as a 'gripping wartime drama that delves into themes of race, justice, and honor.' On the other hand, Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times felt that the film 'fails to fully engage the audience, leaving a sense of missed opportunities.' Despite these varying opinions, many agree that Colin Farrell delivers a standout performance, elevating the film with his portrayal of Lt. Thomas Hart. With a solid but unspectacular rating of 6.3/10 on IMDb, 60% on Rotten Tomatoes, and 49/100 on Metacritic, Hart's War remains a compelling watch for those interested in wartime dramas and moral dilemmas.
