Review by: Jason James Rating

This was an interesting movie. I remeber watching reruns of Hogans Hero's as a kid but never really followed the show much. In this telling of the story Bob Crane who played Hogan in Hogans Heros had one of those friends that drags you down. One of those people that uses you to get things they can't get on their own. I think we all know of someone like that. Since it is well documented on how this story ends, it is of no suprise that it does not have a happy ending. For the most part I found the story to be interesting and it held my interest up until the last 20 minutes. At that point the story starts to turn south, not so much because of poor writing but because the lifestyle that Bob Crane lived was catching up with him. This movie is worth a watch but not something that you would rewatch, so if you can find it give it a rent.
