Academy Award nominees John Travolta (Best Actor, Pulp Fiction) and Samuel L.

this is a very good movie. John Travolta and Samuel Jackson are really good in their roles. The story is well written and the cast works well. Not allot of special effects here just good old fashioned twists and turns. The ending is not really expected but does workOne of my favorites - Spokes
This movie is always changing the story. Once you think you know where they are going with it, they change it again. If you rent this movie make sure when you get up to use the bathroom you pause it. You will most likely be lost when you come back otherwise.
When the movie is done, it throws it off in another totally differt way. LOVE IT. Should see it.classic mystery hidden by bad marketing - outlander78
This is an interesting mystery movie, set following a military training exercise. John Travolta interviews the surviving members of the squad, who each tell their version of events, while he tries to put the actual events in order, like a washed-up version of Poirot.
The acting is good, the mystery fun to try and resolve, and has one of my all-time favourite quotes: “If you do not measure up, you will be asked to leave. If you do not leave, you will have a training accident. We have a few of those each year.”
If you like mystery movies, ignore the marketing for this movie and rent it.
