An OK Movie, if you can ignore the holes

Rating: 7/10 (30 January 2005)

I Like to enjoy a movie, even if it has flaws, and i don't like to nit-pick as a rule, bit i don't like movies to cheat, and this movie does exactly that.
Samuel L Jackson, is a highly decorated and Heroic Marine, that is hung out to dry by the American Government, after a siege in Yemen went bad. Under heavy fire, he loses Marines and orders the hostile crowd outside the US Embassey to be slaughtered. Refusing to let the United States take the fall, they destroy evidence and leave him without a chance.
With a cast of Samuel L. Jackson, Guy Pearce and Tommy Lee Jones, all delivering fine performances, and the basis for a good story, this movie is somewhat spoilt by the following -
WARNING MAJOR SPOILERS
During the Siege in Yemen, we see the unarmed crowd, before the order to waste the Mother F*****s. Later in the film we see a flashback through Samuel L Jackson Eyes, where everyone, even the women and children were armed and were firing at the marines. There was no reason for this, other than to try and fool us, the viewing audience that he may have been wrong to fire on the crowd.
SPOILERS OVER
That Said it is an enjoyable movie, but sadly nothing more.
6/10
