- Six soldiers went out. Two came back. What happened to the military's most elite commandos?
When a legendary commander (Samuel L. Jackson) and several of his men turn up missing, the last thing the government wants is a rogue DEA agent (John Travolta) investigating the disappearance. As the investigation unfolds, the agent is placed in direct conflict with the Army's official investigating officer (Connie Nielsen) and nothing is as it seems.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"An overly convoluted, tiresome mystery that exists primarily to antagonize the audience"
-
"Travolta and Nielson seem to be in two different and incompatible movies."
-
"Basically, it's a muddle"
-
"Buy your ticket, sit yourself down, and let ol' John take you for a ride. You'll have a blast."
-
"It's neither deep and interesting enough to be a brainteaser nor sufficiently thrilling to count as a mindless diversion"
