100 Words
Before he was Obi-Want Kenobi, he was Nicholson and the best way to describe him is the most British person you’ve ever met in your life. Nicholson, a prisoner of war, takes a lot of pride in making sure everything is done by the book.

Enlisted to build a British bridge, he does so even when his colleague wonders aloud if using the force to build a British bridge for the non-British enemy is British treason. Meanwhile, an American impersonator teams up with more British people to blow up the British bridge, which is definitely risky, and not very British.

    I loved this movie, I love Guinness, and I LOVED the whistling; even the poster passed for this harsh advertising critic. This is not a bridge too far.
