Basic who done it mystery

Yep, this is one of those movies that anyone could have done after you figure out what was done. John Travolta did a pretty convincing job. During a training mission in Panama, Sgt. West (Samuel Jackson), an unloved leader type, is killed along with some collateral damage. Tom Hardy (John Travolta), the renegade type, is called in to investigate. He is teamed up with rookie investigator Osborne (Connie Nielson), with no chance at chemistry type. We get led around by our nose as information mysteriously appears during the several conflicting stories (several conflicting flashbacks). There are a few good shoot-em-up scenes. You have seen this before, and you know the drill (maybe). Naturally, last-minute clues that were too dangerous to tell you sooner appear near the end of the movie. If you enjoy this type of movie, I suggest you watch “Courage Under Fire” (1996).
