Description

Tommy Lee Jones and Samuel L. Jackson deliver electrifying performances in this tense, superbly-directed and top-drawer drama about what happens when the rules that command a solider become the rules that condemn him. Colonel Terry Childers (Jackson) is a patriot and war hero. But when a peace-keeping mission he leads in Yemen goes terribly wrong, he finds himself facing a court martial. Accused of breaking the rules of engagement by killing unarmed civilians, Childer’s only hope of vindication rests with comrade-in-arms Hays Hodges (Tommy Lee Jones), a military lawyer of questionable abilities. Together they face the battle of their lives. Directed by Oscar-Winning director William Friedkin(The Exorcist, The French Connection) and co-starring Guy Pearce, Bruce Greenwood, Anne Archer and Academy Award winner Ben Kingsley, Rules of Engagement is a magnificent movie you must see.
