Reviews


70
L.A. Weekly - John Patterson
Worth it, though, for the conviction and ramrod-erect bearing that pros Jackson and Jones bring to their roles.
63
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
Works splendidly as a courtroom thriller about military values as long as you don't expect it to seriously consider those values.
60
Chicago Reader - Jonathan Rosenbaum
Friedkin does a superb job of serving up the well-appointed script by James Webb and Stephen Gaghan.

Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan
Passable, moderately diverting dramatic entertainment.

New York Daily News - Jack Mathews
Sometimes, movies would work better if you couldn't see them.
