Having heard of King Rat for years I recently watched it and found it wanting. The description of the movie reminds one of Stalag 17, yet King did not feel the animosity from the other P.O.Ws that Stilton did in 17. It also lacked the intrigue of 17.
Also the men in the camp appeared much older than a service man captured for possibly 4years.
The friendships didn't seem genuine enough for the betrayal in the end.
Regrettably, I ca not recommended this movie. Better off with Stalag 17, or Bridge onthe River Kwai
