Amazon.co.uk Review

Rules of Engagement opens strongly with a Vietnam battle sequence that sets the stage for the rest of the story. But then director William Friedkin knows a thing or two about staging harrowing action sequences, and if you don't believe that, you've never seen The French Connectionor To Live and Die in LA. Unfortunately, Friedkin can't do much about the implausible plot that follows, in which the Marine commander, played by the always-terrific Samuel L Jackson, is accused of slaughtering innocent civilians (who actually were shooting at him and his men). He must rely on an old Marine buddy--a lawyer played by Tommy Lee Jones--to get him through the jury-rigged court martial. But the central premise--that an evil presidential aide would perjure himself and destroy evidence simply to maintain good relations with US allies in the Middle East, rather than defending a highly decorated Marine colonel who risked his life--is inevitably hard to swallow. And the ending is even flimsier. --Marshall Fine, Amazon.com

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent cast help out a clichéd plot., 26 Jun 2003
By Martin I. Smith (Denbigh, Wales) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
I've never been one to look out for court room dramas but whenever I've caught one I've enjoyed it. A Few Good Men is one of the best of the bunch. Rules Of Engagement isn't quite there but it's a very entertaining movie. Tommy Lee Jones, Sam Jackson and Guy Pearce are three of the best actors around, without them the film wouldn't really be that good. In the hands of a lesser director this would be at best a boring tv movie, but William Friedkin (The Exorcist, The French Connection) is one of the greats. The opening Vietnam sequence is superb and there are a lot of disturbing images throughout the movie (the massacre in Yemen being one of them). The film is quite predictable but it never gets boring, it's well worth watching for the odd superb set piece and to see all those fantastic actors doing their stuff.

By A Customer
This is a fantastic movie by samuel jackson and tommy lee jones. The graghics and the visual effects were phenominum. The court marshall of a great marine officer against the U.S. Government. Please if you have not seen this movie, get it cos it's as good as rain.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great actors star in great film., 14 Jun 2003
Just from the actors I could tell this film would be good. With such film greats as Samuel L Jackson (Pulp fiction, Jackie Brown), Tommy Lee Jones (MIB, Batman forever) this film is great before the opening sequence. But it would be ridiculous to judge a film purely on it's cast. Every actor in this film plays his/her part with utter perfection.
This film has everything. You'll notice it has action, drama, some very dark comedy, and pretty much everything you could ever want from a film. If you're a fan of films, you should love this. I would recommend it to anyone.
