Rather than Rashomon, I was reminded of a court film in which each witness presents a different view of the so-called truth and the lawyer has to reconcile each new fact with the old state of affairs or each new piece of the puzzle. must fit into the bigger picture. Everything well worked out with fine roles from Washington, Phillips and Damon; unfortunately Ryan doesn't convince as much as her southern accent, I was quite willing to give her credit but I just don't "see" her as an iron eater. Tiny role by Sean Astin as Washington's unfortunate gunner, five years before he was to become Frodo's gardener.

looks a bit like the movie with tom cruise a few good men where a military lawyer has to investigate two murders and stamp against the shins of a high soldier and they also want to twist the truth and that is almost the same in this film. exception id this will not become a military court but also the truth is twisted and here a soldier also has to find out the truth and he also has to knock down some holy houses as it is called for the truth and here too he gets some resistance from a higher person also want to cover up the truth just for their own sake, but here also the military researcher does not give up even if he is not thanked. the suspense was good and I can't put a thriller on this either. For me too, as I see it, it's nothing more than just a military drama. well played and acted by Denzei Washington in his role as a colonel who has to investigate the case a small role for Meg ryan as captain so I see a bit with a few good men this film exceptionally this is not about murder yes one side is because she was still alive but okay so my opinion about this movie
