Samuel L. Jackson and Tommy Lee Jones Light Up the Screen

Rating: 10/10 (8 April 2020)

A thoroughly gripping and engaging legal war drama, and also kind of a thriller, Rules of Engagement is an immensely enjoyable and very memorable film. I think it's definitely one of the best films of both Jackson and Jones' career.
Screen legends Samuel L. Jackson and Tommy Lee Jones appearing together was a treat. I love Jones, and Jackson is one of my all-time favorites. They light up the screen, and make the already interesting plot that much better.
The action scenes, when they happen, are really good. The opening battle scene is bloody and visceral, and the embassy scene is very lengthy and taut, with some brutal violence also. The fight scene between Jackson and Jones was awesome and super fun.
The court scenes were very engaging to me, and very well-done. This is definitely one of the better legal movies out there.
Definitely one of the best movies of 2000, and one of both Jackson's and Jones' best performances, Rules of Engagement is not a movie to miss.
