At times the movie is ridiculously hilarious, and at other times it is heart-breathtakingly depressing and difficult to watch. Many reviewers have expressed disappointment in the last 15 minutes of the movie. I could not disagree any more.

   Is King Rat a good prison camp film?

   • King Rat is considered to top the prison camp movies, including The Great Escape, for its honest and gritty, realistic exploration of hate and redemption. Courtney's performance as the Provost Marshall is fine, but he lacks the necessary steel for the job and ultimately fails to convince.

   Is King Rat a POW war movie?

   • Of POW war films, King Rat is the antithesis to The Great Escape. There's no whistle-along theme here, but rather a bleak, quiet desperation that fuels survival; where to be alive is to have committed sins against your comrades. And as the prologue states, there's "no friendly Swiss border" a Steve McQueen can attempt to escape to on his motorbike.
