 | | "The Hill" that gives the movie its name is a device of torture built by prisoners in the Libyan desert: a pyramid of stone, sand and corrugated iron, which looks like a vestige of some ancient, barbaric age. |
 | | One feels the tortuous heat of the punishing hill in the British prison, the strained nobility of seasoned soldiers treated with contempt by their captors, the unspoken psychological tremors beneath "Williams'" foreboding surface... |
 | | The hill's theme is in the vein of POW movies like King Rat and Bridge on the River Kwaii, with the twist that it's about British inmates in a North African British military correctional facility. |
