Title: Completely unbelievable and inaccurate courtroom drama
Review: Although the acting is top notch in this movie, the unbelievable and inaccurate storyline overshadows the performances of Jackson and Jones. A commanding officer in the situation presented would never act as Jackson does here, moreover a marine as hotheaded as Jackson would never rise to such a command, much less the rank of colonel. Moreover, the courtroom scenes are ridiculous as they in no way resemble the procedure of an actual courtmartial. Improper argument during opening statements, questioning an ambassador as to how he would give orders to troops if he were a military commander, constant cussing during testimony etc. It would never happen. Moreover, it is unbelievable that the National Security Advisor and ambassador would conspire to frame a soldier and destroy evidence in this way. There is too much to risk and little realistically to gain. It makes the movie hard to enjoy. Don't bother.
