Plot; Four soldiers are framed and set out to clear their names and catch those responsible.
Having recently revisited the original TV series I thought I'd give the big screen adaptation another shot. My original impression was that it was a loud, joyless, overlong mess, wasting the talents of a cast that was pretty much spot on. My impression now is... pretty much the same as it was six years ago. There are some aspects that I appreciated more this second go 'round. For one there's Patrick Wilson, who's great as a sleazy CIA agent. Wilson always seems to be in an entirely different, and much better, movie. There's also some fun to be had in fits and starts. Unfortunately none of it really ever gels despite game efforts from all involved.
