One for a good sit down

Rating: 8/10 (18 December 2007)

The main comment in reference to this movie had to be written by an individual with a serious lack of vision and depth. This movie is a good one to sit and watch on a Sunday afternoon or Monday night with out sports. The obvious is pretty simple: Childers played by Samuel Jackson is a war harden Marine sent to Yemen to evacuate the Ambassador.
If you're a die hard combat action seeker; this movie isn't for you. There are few combat scenes that serve to tease you appetite, but none that scenes like that of Saving Private Ryan.
There are some questionable items within the movie, but what movie doesn't leave you with some questions? In this movie, your attention is kept because the writer doesn't tell you what happens until the end and that's how it should be!
Overall, I gave this movie an 8. Based on the following factors:
Plot: realistic... a situation a person could find his/herself in. Action: just enough to keep you interested Mystery: the writers don't give away the ending; they leave you to your assumptions throughout.
