Running Time : 98 mins

DEA Tom Hardy (Travolta) is brought in to help investigating officer Captain Julia Osborne (Nielson) look into the disappearance of Sergeant Nathan West (Jackson) and a number of recruits who were under his command. As they look into the issue they slowly discover, with the help of two of the missing soldiers, that Sergeant West may well have been killed by his troops.

This was a movie with lots of twists, but it didn’t really give enough explanation for them. It’s clear once you’ve watched the movie what actually happened, but it’s not 100% clear, despite a reasonable explanation from Travolta, what the reasons behind the events were or why they were necessary. Despite being a little confusing, this is perhaps still worth having a look at.
