Take it for what it is ...

Rating: Null/10 (11 April 2000)

Come on people, give it a rest. I am so sick and tired of people taking an excellent movie and tearing it apart. Some of you are so bitter.
Yes, there were some inconsistencies in the film, I'll grant you that. But, you have two of the best actors around, doing what they do best. Don't forget, action / thriller movies are intended for entertainment, not art. If you want art, go see a foreign film, not an American courtroom thriller / war movie.
Another area many people seem to have a problem with is Tommy Lee and Sam playing themselves as twenty-something marines. I know it's a stretch, but if they would have cast young actors to play them, everyone would have been screaming that they look nothing like the main actors.

There is something inherent in movies and should be recognized by the audience - It is called suspension of disbelief.
In other words, shut up, sit back, and enjoy the damn movie !!!
This was by far the best movie so far this year, two thumbs way up.
