For once - a good Tommy Lee Jones movie

Rating: 6/10 (4 December 2005)

I don't like TLJ cause he usually plays redneck moron types who think they know everything and don't know nothing'. But here he plays an attorney with a very low level of self confidence who defends a colonel (Samuel L. Jackson) charged with killing 83 civilians. As always jackson does an outstanding job and it was great to see his character -SPOILER - vindicated in the end what with all the slimy govt officials out to stab him in the back.
One thing that bothered me was that after the colonel was charged with 83 counts of murder, he was released on his own recognizance since the military said he was not a flight risk!!!!!!!! In real life no one charged with murder gets ROR.
