Horrible! Here's why...

Rating: 1/10 (19 April 2000)

Who is the main Character? I'm still not quite sure if the Samuel Jackson character or the Tommy Lee character is the person I'm supposed to be following.

Bad Acting/Boring Characters! It's usually the job of the director to get good performances out of the actors. Didn't happen here. Good characters would have been a nice starting point for good acting. Didn't exist here (one is an ex-drunk with a famous father whose shoes he doesn't fill; another is hyper-patriotic and... yeah, that's about all).
Tried too hard! Vietnam sequence was way too long and not at all up to it's wanna-be-a-Spielberg, Saving-Private-Ryan intro. Then I had to suspend disbelief for the entire pump-up-my-male-ego Yemen sequence when of what must have been a million gun shots is heard and seen ricocheting. What platoon of Marines would run up on a roof in a hail of bullets and stay there, pinned down, while 3 of their comrads are killed doing the same thing when there is no purpose for being on the roof?
Kangaroo Court? In what court is the burden of proof on the accused? The prosecuting attorney says "there is no evidence to exonerate the accused...."

Just get it over with! Two hours and 15 minutes and they still couldn't wrap it up. It would have been nice to leave the bad guys unpunished -- like in real life -- but since they couldn't show them getting their just desserts, they had to tell us in dragnet type "So and so went on to great fame" titles explanation.
