Brothers In Arms...I wish they left it with that, 10 April 2005
6/10
Author: theviloness from Tilburg, Netherlands

The tag line for Colditz: "Brothers In Arms...Rivals In Love" And I have a problem with this combination. When I rented this movie I thought it was a 3 hour long movie about escaping from Colditz and expected The Great Escape made for television, but unfortunately it wasn't.

First let me say that the art direction was great. All of the locations really looked authentic and I was pleased to see that they really put a good effort to it.

But the movie was more about a love triangle between Tom Hardy, Damien Lewis and Sophia Myles then a real "escape movie" and I think that it is not right against the real events that have taken place.

Instead of The Great Escape you now get Pearl Harbor made for TV and that is disappointing to me.

But overall this movie is not bad. The good acting (especially Lewis & Laurence Fox) keeps your attention and makes you wanna sit out the movie.

I give this film a 6/10
