Courage Under Fire
A military search into the reputedly heroic undoing of a little woman in the Gulf Conflict unearths a Rashomon-pizazz rack of conflicting stories. Billed as the movie which made you take Ryan sincerely, this is fairly lumpen over-sentimental fare, more outstanding as regards its cameo turns past the likes of Lou Diamond Phillips and a different-faced Matt Damon than for its heavily-billed leads. Washington digs the dirt (both personal and professional) with his usual assuredness, but Ryan not in any degree gets beyond looking like, well, Meg Ryan really, having little more than a mephitic hair hour in the midst of all the bullets and sand.
