This film has sadly been missed by many viewers. John Travolta and Madalaine Stow star. Despite his excess bulk, Travolta puts in a pretty good performance in what is a fine piece of script writing.
The story begins with the discovery of the generals daughter tied to stakes in the ground, naked, spread eagled and very dead. Despite the appearance, she has not been raped. Travolta is placed on the case, fighting his way through the male dominated, majorly corrupt, and seriously close-knit army ways to get to the truth.
This film is a strange combination of crime thriller,moving drama and verging on romantic piece. It works extremely well. The scripts is quite superb, and contins one of the best dialogue sequences for a many a blue moon. Travolta and Stow do their jobs adequately, and without too much hollywood overacting.
If you like crime thrillers you will like this. If you like films that are just a little upsetting to watch but undeniably good, then this is for you. If you like your films to pacy and exciting, you too will be satisfied. All in all few will be dissappointed.
A good film that is exciting and thought provoking. Mark: 7/10, Worth seeing.
P.S. I advise you to watch the end credits so as not to miss the last little piece of the story.

I went to see this at the cinema and quite enjoyed it. It was a good story and it kept my attention throught. I probably wouldn't buy it on video but i'd watch it if it came on TV.
