Pros: mod/good acting by 3 main players. Cons: THIN storyline. Mediocrity wrapped in a venere of cliche' to evoke viewers emotional response. Bad decisions punctuated by mediocre dialogue. But hey, it has shock value (due to graphic violence) so lets rate it really high! Same formula as resevior dogs w/a twist; making money off of natl pride in our soldiers. Yeah, i know I'm going against other reviewers, just think that we deserve better from movies than hbo originals saved by good acting and shock value

The exchange between Jane and Fishburne made me want to eat a bullet. On the plus side, at least Jane's son in the movie was fortunate enough to die and his wife left him so they both didn't have to suffer through this trainwreck.

Pretty good for a low-budget flick. The dialogue had a few weak points, but was surprisingly decent. As a rental, I'd say it's money well spent. There is definitely plenty of suspense, but it's not edge of your seat stuff. Just a perfectly adequate movie.
