Denzell

Denzell Washington was a good Army investigator but Meg Ryan -- nahh. Too cute. You can't be cute in a combat movie. Of course, Meg Ryan would not know how not to be cute. "Courage Under Fire" isn't quite "Sleepless in Fallujah" but it's pretty lame, except for Denzell.

You could tell they were just getting used to saying 'fuck this and fuck that' in films, in 1996 when this movie was made. There's always an implied question mark on the end of it, no matter how loud they shout it. You know they had to do fourteen takes to get one word right.

At least we got to sit on our couch and watch it.

Around this house no one is allowed to say anything negative about Denzell.

But take a guess at how many films Denzell Washington has made since this one? How about 23? Wow. Plot guesses some of you have seen most of them. He was great in John Q. and will be as Plotnik in 'The Book of Plotnik" (still in development).

Medal of Honor: "A Medal for Honour. A Search for Justice. A Battle for Truth."

The Book of Plotnik: " A Medal for Battle. Does This Rhyme?"
