Review

 

Legendary drill instructor, Sgt. Nathan West (Samuel Jackson), takes six Ranger cadets on a training mission to Fort Clayton in the Panamanian jungle, but only two remain alive. Everyone else, including the sergeant, was killed. The two survivors are uncooperative and give wildly differing accounts of what actually happened. Former Ranger and DEA agent Tom Hardy (John Travolta), currently on suspension for allegedly accepting a bribe, is called in to try and separate the truth from the lies and find out what really happened.

A top notch flick from director John McTiernan that is full of twists and tension throughout and has plenty of action that really keeps you gripped!
This is one of those films that you have to concentrate on while you watch, as there is so much going on that if you blink you might miss something vital and so not fully understand what is happening!!
There is an all star cast that have brilliant roles and the best are John Travolta and Samuel Jackson who are another two of my favourite actors!
This dvd contains some extra features and is a great addition to any collection and i picked it up on PlayTrade for just £1.89 so its well worth a look as it is a crackin film!!

Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars GREAT TWIST!!!

I watched this film for the 1st time last night with my boyfriend who had seen it before. He told me i have to concentrate as its a film you have to follow closely, this only made me pester him with questions most of the way thru the film!!! But i was pleasently suprised. It was a really good film with the best twist at the end! I'm not spoiling it for anyone but you wont see it coming! Watch this film and find out for yourself ITS FAB!!!! :-)
