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.
BASIC, IS BASICALLY A MILITARY VERSION OF THE FAR SUPERIOR 'THE USUAL SUSPECTS'. D.E.A AGENT HARDY (TRAVOLTA) IS CALLED IN TO INVESTIGATE THE DEATH/DISAPPEARANCE OF WEST'S (SAMUEL L JACKSON) RANGER SQUAD, LOST ON A TRAINING MISSION IN THE JUNGLE DURING A HURRICANE. IT STARTS OFF WELL, AND REALLY LOOKS LIKE A DECENT MOVIE, THEN GETS A BIT BOGGED DOWN IN THE MIDDLE BUT MY REAL GRIPE IS THE ENDING - IT JUST KEEPS ADDING BITS SO WHEN YOU THINK ITS ALL OVER SOMETHING ELSE CROPS UP. SO IN A NUTSHELL I'M GONNA CONDENSE IT DOWN !!!. ONE-DUNBAR DONE IT. TWO-PIKE DONE IT. THREE-LEVI AND DUNBAR DONE IT. FOUR-DUNBAR IS PIKE, PIKE IS DUNBAR. FIVE-WEST ISN'T DEAD. SIX-LEVI IS DEAD. SEVEN-THE COLONEL DID IT. EIGHT- NO ONE DONE IT BECAUSE WEST IS ALIVE AND HARDY KNEW ALL ALONG. HARD WORK.
Saw a very small amount of this film while away on holiday and thought would like to see more.7 men are sent into the jungle to survive a task but only 2 make it out and the story is about what happened in there.Well what better reason to buy it. This film is excellent with lots of plot twists it keeps you guessing. Each time you think you have found out the truth something else happens and you find out something else. Brilliant cast with John Travolta and Samuel L Jackson. They really work well together. Must see film. Keeps you gripped with the storyline right until the end. I highly recommend this film.
Id started to watch the film on tv but fell asleep before the end and it bugged me so I found it on ebay, so I could find out what happened at the end. Was pleasantly suprised really good film, great twist at the end would def reccommend, samuel l jackson and john travolta are brilliant in it :)
