About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a WWII POW mystery that mixes suspicion, dark humor, and shifting alliances, with a steady build of tension; Not for you if you want a purely serious war drama or consistent comedy like Sunset Boulevard.

Pros: tense whodunit suspense; sharp, cynical lead; memorable barracks banter | Cons: uneven comedy tone; dated, broad gags; realism feels softened
