a5c7b9f00b Tom Hardy, an ex-Army Ranger turned DEA agent, is drawn into an ever-widening mystery surrounding the disappearance of the feared and often hated Sgt. Nathan West, as well as several of his elite Special Forces trainees on what appears, at first, to have been a routine training exercise during a hurricane in the jungles of Panama. Only two survivors are found, Dunbar, and a badly wounded Kendall, the son of a high-profile Joint Chiefs of Staff official. Neither is willing to cooperate with Capt. Julia Osborne's investigation. So base commander Col. Bill Styles calls in ex-Ranger Hardy, an old friend and a persuasive interrogator. Osborne disapproves of Hardy who is on leave from the D.E.A. after having come under suspicion of accepting bribes from local drug traffickers. She is also uneasy when she learns that Hardy once trained under West and hates him almost as passionately as his current recruits. With time running out, Hardy and Osborne call a temporary, if uneasy, truce. Hardy cajoles a confession out of Dunbar, who claims that Sgt. West and the missing Rangers have been murdered and their bodies blown away by the hurricane. When they later interview Kendall, he confirms that the other Rangers and West are dead. But, in almost every other way, his story contradicts Dunbar's. What happened to West and his Ranger team? And what were they really doing out there in the jungle? As each layer reveals more lies and greater deceptions, Hardy and Osborne inch towards the horrible truth about the fate of the missing Rangers. A DEA agent investigates the disappearance of a legendary Army ranger drill sergeant and several of his cadets during a training exercise gone severely awry. I'm sure everyone has made references to Kurosawa's classic film Rashomon (1950) with the same incident told by witnesses in a different flashback. That was the only similarities because the rest is a convoluted twisted premises that has you intrigued right to the very end.<br/><br/>The other bonus is the performances of Travolta & Jackson who were coming down from their career heights after spending the last ten years at the top after the success of Pulp Fiction. These boys make a big difference to the entertainment, and they were in good company with Connie Nielsen and even Giovanni Ribisi in a small but important roll.<br/><br/>Wonderfully shot by Australia's own Steve Mason, and direction well handled by the action- master, John McTiernan. Good old fashion entertainment for a late night viewing while the rest of the world sleeps. What I didn´t like was the end. It is not that real thriller what I expected to be. It is just a damn good manipulation of the audience and that´s it! There is one twist after twist. It began not bad but then there were always the same questions. I mean the film didn´t develop the story deep enough and there could have been done more. Well there is a surprisingly but not realistic end that didn´t convince me at all! John Travolta did a fine job but I am asking why he took this part in this average thriller? For these reasons my wife and I vote 6/10. When the film stumbles to its last and silliest conclusion, you realize much of the plot line was unnecessary – or couldn't have happened at all! In order to understand the drug operation in this movie, we must first take a look at the people involved:<br/><br/><ul><li>Vilmer: Supplied the drugs, named "Combat Cocktails", to soldiers such as Mueller and Kendall. He was also running an operation with a partner, probably Colonel Styles, to smuggle cocaine in military shipments into the United States.</li></ul><br/><br/><ul><li>Kendall: Distributed drugs for Vilmer, and was supposedly hired by Col. Styles to kill Sgt. West.</li></ul><br/><br/><ul><li>Mueller: Distributed drugs for Vilmer, and was supposedly hired by Col. Styles to kill Sgt. West.</li></ul><br/><br/><ul><li>West: Found out about the drug operation 1 week prior to the events in the movie, and went to inform Col. Styles about the discovery. Because of Col. Styles' inaction and potential threat to his safety, Sgt. West arranged the training mission in order to preemptively eliminate Kendall and Mueller.</li></ul><br/><br/><ul><li>Col. Styles: Covered Vilmer's drug operation in order to make millions of dollars from the drug operation.</li></ul><br/><br/>Sgt. West found out that Vilmer was running a drug trafficking operation out of the hospital, and he also found out that Kendall and Mueller were involved in the operation. Not knowing that Col. Styles was involved in the operation, Sgt. West approached him to reveal the drug operation. After some time, the inaction of Col. Styles arose suspicion . Sgt West also suspected that Mueller and Kendall would be ordered to kill him. <br/><br/>Sgt. West then arranges the training exercise in order to confront or eliminate Mueller and Kendall. There is no definitive answer to this question, however there are several possibilities:<br/><br/>1. The Section 8 team needed conclusive proof that Col. Styles was behind the drug operation. So far, Sgt. West and Hardy probably only had suspicions.<br/><br/>2. Dunbar (Brian Van Holt) might have been sent back to base in order to create a cover story for the disappearance of the other team members.
