When a movie has at least three credited writers, and you know about some of the uncredited ones, it's probably in trouble, and certainly the last third showed where too many cooks spoiled the broth, as it were. Still, up till then, I found this not only entertaining but thought-provoking, and I actually enjoyed this more than AIR FORCE ONE. Harrison Ford is one of the most dependable actors around, and it was nice to see him in a role that wasn't larger than life. He's presented with a moral dilemma, but a more complex one than he usually faces, and he handled it well. Pitt is a better actor, in my opinion, than people give him credit for, and I thought he did fine here. I even thought he did a convincing Irish accent (and I'm Irish-American), better than the German one he did in SEVEN YEARS IN TIBET. And the other actors were good, except for Treat Williams, who started out well but then relied on overacting. All in all, this deserved better.
