Instrument of War

Definetly worth to watch if you like ww2 movies based on real life. It is not action packed or too much violence, however it does give you an idea of what life was for some soldier prisoners during those times. It does leave you with a great fealing in the end... war is not black or white.

A true story of imprisoned WWII allies shot down over Germany doing what they can to keep going in the PoW camp. Nicely and simply told, and very moving. A must see for any musicians - especially violinists.

The movie was pretty draggy but had some good characters. The cooler was very hard on some to the point they went nuts which seemed a bit extreme for the amount of time spent locked up. It would have been great to find out what happened to the other main characters after the war but we were left guessing. Time went by but we never knew how much between the different major story points. It is not clear what happened when the Russians showed up and what about the retreating Germans. Lots of missed opportunities to flush out the story but you can do only so much in 90 minutes. The movie did end up having a happy ending.

Slow at times, acting not that great but I watched it to the end. It is a TV movie at best.

Seriously How can this score 6.2 . This movie is outstanding .Beautifully acted and very touching for a war movie Very well worth watching
