	Rules of Engagement - Rotten Tomatoes
		Rules of Engagement isn't a bad film, but it's one that is often too dramatically and intellectually inert to warrant a full recommendation.
		The logic of Rules of Engagement, a military courtroom drama, is so full of holes that the story's chief symbol is completely appropriate: an American flag, shot full of holes.
		Rules of Engagement may be a feel good movie that lacks the imaginative thrusts of David O. Russell's The Three Kings, but for what it is this is one of the better examples.

		Rules of Engagement is a movie starring Samuel Jackson and Tommy Lee Jones.
		According to these rules, Childers has committed no crime if there were indeed a few armed terrorists in the crowd firing on his men.
		Some people have claimed this ruins the movie, as one can argue that from the very beginning Childers is a war criminal.

	Rules of Engagement - a Movie Review by The Phantom Tollbooth
		The movie begins with a flashback 30 years earlier in Vietnam, where Childers and Hodges are trudging through the swamp on patrol.
		The last half of the movie then becomes a courtroom drama as Hodges tries to find evidence that will clear Childers and, when that's not available, uses all of his rhetorical skill.
		Rules of Engagement is an interesting diversion for fans of war movies and courtroom dramas.

		William Friedkin unleashes his flare for tense action and gripping suspense in RULES OF ENGAGEMENT, an exciting military legal thriller that examines the moral gray area of combat experience and reflects on the ethos of the American military in the late 20th century.
		To appease international outrage at an apparent war crime, the U.S. government court-martials Childers for violating the Marine's "rules of engagement," and his only hope rests on Marine lawyer Colonel Hayes Hodges (Tommy Lee Jones), a veteran who owes Childers his life for, ironically, a war crime committed by Childers in the Vietnam War.
		An intense, chiaroscuro courtroom drama and brutal combat film, RULES OF ENGAGEMENT takes a difficult look at the moral ambiguity of life in combat and the value of guilt, honor, and loyal sacrifice in the duty to one's country.

	Movie Review: 'Rules of Engagement'
		Ambiguity is both the strength and the weakness of the vivid military courtroom drama "Rules of Engagement," a movie that ultimately leaves no doubt where its heart lies.
		Friedkin draws a contrast between the lush, violent chaos of the Vietnam scenes and a moment in the present when, after Hodges' retirement party, he walks with Childers through a forest of bare tree trunks, symbolizing a warrior entering the barren winter of his life.
		"Rules of Engagement" displays so many intriguing flaws in its characters that I was disappointed that it offers such a pat and not altogether unexpected ending.

		In Rules Samuel L. Jackson plays a marine who may go to prison for ordering his men to open fire on a hostile crowd in Yemen.
		Rules of Engagement is based on a true story and zooms along in obvious fashion.
		And although you've seen some of this stuff before, Rules of Engagement is a very compelling drama.

	Rules of Engagement - Cincinnati.Com
		The three of them are convincing and watchable in the military drama Rules of Engagement.
		For that matter, the movie wants us to believe that three helicopters full of Marines would land under a barrage of sniper fire without shooting back at the easily visible snipers.
		Rules of Engagement is skillfully directed by William Friedkin but in the end it amounts to pure baloney.

		Rules basically follows the trial and all the hardships Hodges and Childers endure, but what separates it from the rest of this genre of movies, is the other parts, not just the trial.
		The movie was going very well up until the point where it has to take extravagant steps to explain its actions.
		Rules of Engagement is a captivating drama with its fair share of suspense.

		As a war movie, Rules shines, but as a courtroom drama, it lacks in substance.
		Oh, Rules of Engagement has good plot written all over it, but presentation is a whole another thing.
		If the dialogue was better and a little more thought was put into the courtroom side of Rules of Engagement, which really is the important piece of the film, it could be a good movie.

	Insight on the News: Waco: The Rules of Engagement. - movie reviews
		Expressions of surprise were among responses in the conservative community when it was announced that the controversial documentary Waco: The Rules of Engagement was among nominees for the Academy Award for the best documentary.
		As viewed, for example, by William Jasper in an article in the John Birch Society's New American magazine, Rules of Engagement assembles "some very heavy artillery to demolish many of the falsehoods and much of the demonizing propaganda spread by government officials" about the event.
		Rules of Engagement already has received substantial recognition, including being named one of last year's best films by the Los Angeles Times and four other major urban newspapers.

	Review: Rules of Engagement
		On the other hand, the movie wants to present a straightforward courtroom thriller, with all of the usual trappings (an innocent man wrongly accused, a defense attorney striving for redemption, a belligerent prosecuting attorney, and a big speech at the end).
		Yet another source of disappointment is that Rules of Engagement evokes the memories of other films, then fails to live up to expectations created by those associations.
		Rules of Engagement is not without its strengths, but the movie's bitter aftertaste is caused by missed opportunities, plot holes, and the ending that isn't really an ending.

		"Rules of Engagement" has the most anti-climactic outcome of the year (at least so far, and it would take some serious work in the remaining months of 2000 to top it).
		In a tragic case of movie birth defects, this film was born without an ending.
		This is a movie where critics can't be accused of giving away the ending, because there's no ending to give away.

	Rules of Engagement : filmcritic.com Movie Review
		Rules of Engagement is one of these waste products: pulling together a great cast, a great story idea, and a great director, then letting it all fall apart into a mess of things I wouldn’t even blame Joel Schumacher for.
		The movie revolves around the trial of an accused Army officer (Samuel Jackson) trying to subdue an attack on the US Embassy in Yemen, but who ends up quelling the dispute by having his men fire into the crowd of demonstrators.
		To wit, two rules should be followed in the future whenever a studio is considering to greenlighting a film.

	Flipside Movie Emporium: Rules of Engagement Movie Review
		Rules of Engagement makes the terrible mistake of trying to say something important.
		Unfortunately, Rules of Engagement avoids tackling it head-on, reducing the potent early scenes to a stock good-guys/bad-guys confrontation in the concluding hour.
		Rules of Engagement would have benefited from either a lot less ambition or a lot more.

	MediaCircus.net: Rules of Engagement Movie Review by Anthony Leong
		The opening scenes of "Rules of Engagement" are the strongest.
		At this point, I had a feeling that a "Practice" moment was imminent, in reference to how every other episode of TV's "The Practice" has a moment where one of the lawyers suddenly has an uneasy feeling that their client is guilty as hell and thus becomes embroiled in a moral dilemma.
		"Rules of Engagement" is far from a 'based on a true story' type of film, and the use of this last-minute narrative wrap-up is indicative of the lazy storytelling that permeates this film.

	Rules of Engagement - MOVIE REVIEW - Los Angeles Times - calendarlive.com
		"Rules of Engagement," as this courtroom-combat drama takes pains to explain, are a set of regulations that let soldiers know what the military can and cannot do when it comes to using deadly force.
		To the world and even to himself and members of his immediate family he appears to be a mess, a weak attorney on the way to retirement who barely survived a drinking problem and a messy divorce.
		While the rest of "Rules of Engagement" is acceptable, it doesn't have the chops or the ambition to wrestle with the questions it raises.

	Rules of Engagement
		I was genuinely pleased that their joint venture "Rules of Engagement" opened strong, knocking off "Erin Brockovich"'s knockers.
		But after watching the movie, I could credit only the blood-thirsty media hype for its success, for there is not much movie behind that hype.
		"Rules of Engagement" is one very unbelievable movie, as the dice were way too loaded against the protagonists for any of us to be continually intrigued with the story.

		I guess what I really came away from this movie with is this: I am quite relieved that I have never been in such a situation where the life or death of someone (or a group of people) was in question.
		Hence, we have the Rules of Engagement, which are used to train, guide, and prepare those who must face such circumstances.
		First of all, this movie involves a trial, and a decision is made by the jury.

		Where movies are concerned, the first few months of the year 2000 call to mind the classic Thanksgiving episode of WKRP in Cincinnati - the one where station manager Arthur Carlson arranges for dozens of live turkeys to be dropped from a helicopter as a promotional event.

		The rules that they have to live by, combined with the job that they have to do in times of crisis, make for a grueling set of standards to live up to.
		While the film doesn't offer anything new in terms of military courtroom dramas, "Rules" is an intelligent and engaging film that is made that much better by the outstanding lead performances from Samuel L. Jackson and Tommy Lee Jones.
		To the heroes of "Rules of Engagement", we salute you.

		The performances by these two men make this movie engaging and entertaining, even when the script seems determined to make as little sense as possible.
		The movie sets up the morality of that with the ambassador and his wife and then never goes anywhere with it.
		What it comes down to is that when the movie works it is due to the solid work by the director and the stars.

		The scenes of combat when the marines are ordered to the US embassy in Yemen to safeguard our state department personnel were VERY well done, even to the point of gripping.
		I would have given Rules of Engagement a 9 or 10, but for the flaws.

	The Movie Chicks - Review - Waco: The Rules Of Engagement
		The rules of engagement for the raid at Waco were clear, they "would not shoot unless someone's life was in danger" - so what happened back in 1993 that left the Branch Davidian compound in flames and 86 people dead, including women and children.
		This documentary combs through the evidence and all the testimony surrounding the events from February 28 to April 19 and paints a picture that is completely different from the one given by the authorities at the time.
		It's such a bummer - this movie leaves an awful taste in your mouth for the information we are spoon-fed and told is the gospel truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

	Movie Review - Rules of Engagement - eFilmCritic
		Ben Kingsley and Anne Archer are completely wasted in supporting parts, in fact Archer has a meeting with Jones which seems to be setting her up to be a useful character later in the movie - but she never appears again.
		I won't get started on the setting which once again flogs the "Arabs are terrorists" stereotype to death, though its an interesting thing when the best scenes of the film are a very bare on dialogue visit to Yemen by Jones.
		Well-acted and thought provoking: one of the more intelligent movies this summer.
