About this item
Amazon.com
Based on interviews conducted with more than 100 former prisoners of war, The Hanoi Hilton captures the brutal and tedious life in a prison camp during the Vietnam War. Though released around the same time as Platoon and Full Metal Jacket, The Hanoi Hilton didn't have the same impact, partly because it was an independent film and couldn't afford the same production values, but also because its perspective was much narrower. This movie avoids grappling with the larger questions of the Vietnam War, instead throwing its support whole-heartedly behind the P.O.W.s and veering into jingoism as a result. (When a Cuban officer arrives to assist the Viet Cong, his wickedness is so swaggering he comes across as the villain in a cheesy melodrama.) But when the movie focuses on the decency and suffering of the men themselves, its compassion and outrage are undeniable, and the performances--particularly that of Michael Moriarty (Law & Order)--are moving. An interview with Senator John McCain, a former P.O.W. himself, accompanies the film; this was conducted while he was running for president and feels, regrettably, like little more than a promotional effort for his candidacy. The men in the film deserve a more candid and searching discussion of their struggles. --Bret Fetzer
