      The music played in the background on Rusty's ranch is Kiefer Sutherland's own music from his country band.
    • Goofs
      An honorably discharged service member cannot lose vested benefits without a lengthy administrative process. James' CO couldn't strip him of those benefits. The whole premise of the movie is fantasy.

    Doesn't go anywhere.

    Chris Pine performs admirably for his part... Unfortunately, the story doesn't have much to say. Nothing about it is memorable. It seems like a script more suited to Stallone, Arnold, or Bruce Willis in their youth. Pine, you are too young for this mediocrity. Leave these kinds of scripts for the older guys. By the way, I hated the Steve Trevor of Wonder Woman 1984. That was worse than this.

    In conclusion, I am left with the question what was the point of this film? I think younger people might like it for the gun fights.
