I thought this was a very believable movie. As an Army veteran I can appreciate the results of boredom at a small military post.
Besides I adore Liz Taylor's lush body . . . even though she cheated (cinematically) at a critical point in the movie! ;) And, while her character is presented as an available prize to those who might lust for her, I never had the impression she was an adulterer. More like the many married women I have met who like their desirability to be validated but not acted upon. Which their spouses no longer do, for one reason or the other (as this movie outlines). Or maybe I am too much of an idealist about desirable married women. Most of them.

As a political wonk, I found this movie perfect! I think this is the best Eddie Murphy movie ever! Actually, I am disappointed it took me so long to see it (today, 12/28/02). I was amazed at the negative reviews. What is these people's problem? That the US government doesn't work like this? Or that Eddie's character could actually realize that screwing ordinary citizens is different from swindling corporations and rich people?
