Interesting and thought provoking, but fails to really investigate the issues it raises.

Rating: 6/10 (26 November 2001)

As always, Samuel L. Jackson is intense and powerful, his performance demonstrates his superb acting ability in portraying his characters stubborn and honourable ways. Unfortunately, I couldn't help but feel that Tommy Lee Jones was out of place within his role. He almost seems as though he should be placed in a similar role to Samuel L. Jackson. Then again maybe I missed the point, his character begins life that way, and being forced to be an army lawyer creates this placing unease.
The film is exciting and thought provoking, yet I can't help think that there is a lot of film left lying on the cutting room floor. Not that the story is incomplete, but more that it lacks focus on some crucial points throughout.
Although slightly different to "A few good men", another cracking good army courtroom drama is made, and this one attempts to cover some serious issues and our views of the people we send out to fight for us. It's worth a watch.
