Well, great cast, good execution...just way too many holes in the plot for me to recommend.

personally I really didnt like this movie at all....

it was pointless....the "surprises" and such seemed like the writer left every 30 minutes and when he came back forgot what was happening so just made up something...

I honestly had no clue what the object of any of it was or what they were trying to accomplish....


way to elaborate (if they knew someone was selling drugs why not bust them instead of staging so-and-sos murder with about 10 people in on it)

your correct saying I couldnt guess who dun it...but I still didnt know who did what at the end.....

see "the usual suspects" for a similar concept but well done...

Take it easy guys! I think he just meant it's sometimes nice to see a movie where you can't always predict the ending and wonder if the main character is good or bad at times. It's an entertaining flick...

Yea, I LOVED the pianist, but hated Basic. To each his own. I just don't like sitting through a pointless hour to get to a 20 min story.

I just watched this a few nights ago. The story held my interest but it doesn't seem to add up at the end.

Parts of the movie reminded me of "Courage Under Fire" (? - the Meg Ryan movie).
