    All it has going for it is Tom Berenger and a whole lot of atmosphere. Luckily, that's all it needs.

  • Chris Hicks, Deseret News, Salt Lake City

    The writing here is routine, with superficial characters and plotting that isn't particularly exciting.

    I love Tom Berenger, probably served as inspiration for the sniper scenes in Saving Private Ryan or Shooter, no joke.

    A macho action film that is actually pretty decent. It is entertaining, and not a total waste of time.

  • xGary X


    Journeyman military thriller seriously lacking in star presence. Berenger attempts to reprise his role from Platoon, but the script has little depth.

  • Lee K


    Nowhere near the acting job that he did in Platoon, however a cool flick none the less
