Great actors in poor story

Rating: 2/10 (4 October 2000)

Good performances by Samuel L. Jackson and Tommy Lee Jones are completely overshadowed by a poor and amazingly boring story. The script has several obvious lacks (f.x how did prosecution find the Vietnamese major after 27 years, how did they even know about him?). The story is so predictable it's almost unpredictable.
We've seen movies like "Rules of Engagement" a hundred times, but we seldom see them as bad as this one.
