Flawed...but worth the watch
I give credit to De Palma, because I doubt anyone could do a movie based on the same material any better. I don't know how fast the film was made, but the visuals seem to suggest to me that it was thrown quickly together. The actors are all believable, but not even Fox is all that likable. Penn is good as always, and Fox makes you sympathize for him. But there is something about this film that is missing,it's not as effective as it could've been. Ving Rhames does well, watch for him in a smaller role as Fox's commanding officer.
