A very disturbing movie ...
Fine performances by all. But this was one disturbing movie. A General who decided to put his career before his daughter's crisis. Sadly there are folks out there who would do such heartless thing ... make such a heartless decision. And some of the scenes were a bit over the top such as the rape scene. These training maneuvers are heavily monitored to keep the "training" environment relatively safe. And for someone to be left there til dawn seems very unrealistic. But Hollywood wants the viewer to think otherwise. Travolta's and Stowe's performances were by far the best. No matter the project Travolta does his best to give the audience their hard earned monies worth. I had to dismiss some of the dialogue as absolute falsehood and again this is Hollywood stretching reality a bit. And then there's the scene with Stowe and the West Pointer that became no more then a rabbit trail and the manner in which Stowe is addressed by the West Pointer was very much out of character.
