I can't find a review anywhere, or much talk about it. Story on cover looked interesting, but hard to tell.

I just watched it last weekend. It's worth a rental for some excellent acting, but there's a twist at the end that was so lame that it ruined it for me. It turned what could have been a very good movie into one that's just ok.

For me, I don't even know that this was worth the rental. You can get this movie tons of different places in many better forms (i.e. better military court dramas).

Mediocre military-courtroom drama/thriller that was obvious, cliched and strained credibility. How I wish I had those 2 hours back in my life. Go re-watch A Few Good Men instead.

I thought the video transfer was quite nice, but content was horrible after the first hour. I hated the directing as well. No good use of the 2:35 aspect ratio. I could hardly stand watching just because of the terrible shots.

Yeah, it had pretty bad cinematography. I wouldn't even rent it, unless you're a fan of Morgan Freeman or something.

The scene where Judd scowls and hisses at Bruce Davison is just priceless! :laugh:
I reviewed this one. What a turkey.

I borrowed it from a friend just because of Morgan Freeman
otherwise I 'll give it a miss because it had jagged edges.

Nice rental, but won't wind up in my collection. Morgan and Ashley do work well together.

It's hard to fathom how far Carl Franklin has fallen since One False Move. I agree, don't bother.
