A surprisingly good movie, along the lines of Top Gun, GI Jane, Navy SEALS, etc. Ashton had NO (that would be ZERO) chemistry with his love interest, but he rucked up and actually turned in a nice performance.

Costner does better as a grizzled vet than he did as the pretty boy. Something about him always bugged me, but that monotone whatever does better as a mature character.

They cheesed the final rescue scene and there were a few things that made you go "Yeah right" but, all in all, a very good flick and I didn't feel like I'd wasted an hour and a half of my life.

I liked it, too. I've always liked that monotone thing Costner does.

Not a Costner fan, but did you see No Way Out? One of my favorites

Really? I never followed him enough to hear about his issues, do tell.

Costner's issues, not Cruise's, we ALL know his issues.

Tommy Lee Jones DOES NOT have issues.

Will Smith DOES NOT have issues.

Robert Duval DOES NOT have issues.
