Reviews

L.A. Weekly -
Worth it, though, for the conviction and ramrod-erect bearing that pros Jackson and Jones bring to their roles.
|
|
Chicago Sun-Times -
Works splendidly as a courtroom thriller about military values as long as you don't expect it to seriously consider those values.
|
|
Chicago Reader -
Friedkin does a superb job of serving up the well-appointed script by James Webb and Stephen Gaghan.
|
|
Los Angeles Times -
Passable, moderately diverting dramatic entertainment.
|
|
New York Daily News -
Sometimes, movies would work better if you couldn't see them.
