CGiii Comment
Not a pleasant experience - male posturing and anal writing.
There are some excellent ideas floating around but, with a lack of vision and no sense of refinement, this falls flat on its face.
Good premise - bad product.

The(ir) Blurb...
In the closing days of World War II, German prisoners riot in a POW Camp in Scotland. Fearful of a mass escape attempt, the British Army sends in an unorthodox Irish Captain in hopes of discovering exactly what is going on. The Irishman at once comes into conflict with the senior prisoner, a U-Boat commander, and the two must match wits, knowing that only one will emerge victorious.
