"To End All Wars" may not be a classic or a great war film. It starts slowly, and the numerous characters make it a bit confusing. This is not "Saving Private Ryan". However, the movie gets more interesting, intense and meaningful as it goes along and concludes with a satisfying ending. "To End All Wars" is a film worth hanging in there past the first half hour to get to the more involved parts of the plot and characters. There is more than just a POW camp war tale here. There is an entire subplot about the prisoners motives, character growth, attitudes and eventual heroics that is worth waiting for. Most war films start and end with shooting and battles. "To End All Wars" looks at the human side of conflict. Add to all of this the basis on a true story, and this film makes for a worthwhile two hours. 7/10
