I thought it was good, until the end.

Rating: Null/10 (16 May 2000)

Ok, the movie itself was good until the end. The friend I was with was cringing throughout the movie because of the lying Ambassador Mourain and the National Security Advisor William Sokal. I was being patient because, like in all of these movies, the bad guy gets his due in the end. So here I sit, patiently waiting for the final scenes when both Sokal and Mourain get what's coming to them. And I'm rewarded with lines of text stating "whatever", at that point I didn't care. They could have added ten minutes to the film to add scenes of them getting their due and taken this movie from the 2 I gave it to I would say at least a 7, due to it's overall lack of originality. As for Samuel Jackson, I thought he played the part fairly well but I was too reminded of Jack Nicholson from "A Few Good Men" to give him too high a marks. I am very disappointed with Hollywood over this one, but they are Hollywood and could care less what I think.
