Who did what?: Briefly; Captain Julia Osborne [Connie Nielsen:] she is the closest individual that they have a to investigater this incident, but DEA Agent Tom Hardy [John Travolta:] he is a former Ranger turned DEA, but he also has a colourful background, essentially he has been brought in to assist with the investigation, which needless to say doesn't exactly sit too well with Captain Osborne, but they are here to investigate what happened in this incident involving Master Sergeant Nathan West [Samuel L. Jackson:] a hard-nosed individual that trained these soldiers and this incident took place on his watch.

Generally speaking: the framework; now and again we do have is back and forth between different times thing being used, but on the whole the pacing is good.

Action; what we have of it; it is solidly good, to cover my back a little; yes this is one of those occasions where, I should just say I can only work with what is there, so if it is something of a functional level for an example I can't really dress it up more than that, so in this case as I have already indicated; what we have is solidly good.

Character developments, performances and voice performance; and I have to continue that sentiment from my previous section that all of the character types, performances and voice performance; follow their character types fluently with performances or/and voice performance to match; basically they followed the script to its word, minus one exception Jackson is clearly a glowing positive to this film as the performance as this hard-nosed individual; Jackson fluently and naturally is this Master Sergeant West as someone that will mould these individuals to serve their country and if he is unable to do this; you will bring you and send you packing, but hopefully you will tap out/walk out before this happens, to be honest Jackson should have been given at minimum a positive award nomination for this performance.

This film receives: 6/10, this film is good; I mean I am a just having a quick think, I think I have seen this film less than 5 times in my life [as of this content being created,] if you haven't seen it; it is well worth a watch if you like case crimes or/and any other performers I have mentioned, but it doesn't have much of a repeating viewing that go about it. This film also has a small number of awards accredited to its name and the majority of them are not positive ones; 3 Nominations Golden Trailer Awards 2003 Golden Trailer Best Voice Over, now onto the negative Awards The Stinkers Bad Movie Awards 2003 Stinker Award Worst Fake Accent: Male John Travolta and from the same award ceremony/event Worst Fake Accent: Female Connie Nielsen.
