a horribly contrived plot

Rating: 3/10 (11 December 2000)

This is one of those movies that starts out bad, and pretty much plateaus at terrible. How many (elite) military units out there would stand for getting cut down for several minutes before blindly firing into an unarmed crowd? I'm no military strategist, but I'm guessing that most military units would have some snipers take out the enemy shooters immediately after taking fire. Add in the obligatory "beat-the-guy-up-even-though-he's-your-buddy," and it makes you wonder if Sam Jackson and Tommy Jones were hurtin for cash...
