Bennett Marco kapitány és Raymond Shaw őrmester együtt szolgált az Öböl-háborúban. A kuvaiti sivatagban támadás érte a szakaszukat és csak Shaw őrmesternek köszönhetik, hogy életben maradtak, akit hőstettéért Becsületrenddel tüntettek ki. Tíz évvel később Shaw elképesztő gyorsasággal halad felfelé a politikai ranglétrán anyjának, a nagyhatalmú szenátornak a közbenjárásával. Marcót viszont rémálmok gyötrik, amelyek a kuvaiti akcióval állnak kapcsolatban. Azon töpreng, hogy Shaw talán nem is az a dicsőséges hős, akinek mindenki hiszi. Megpróbál kapcsolatba lépni vele.

A pretty decent conspiracy thriller in the vein of Enemy of the State or Conspiracy Theory. However, unlike Ridley Scott and Richard Donner, Jonathan Demme is significantly weaker both in visuals and content.

If I overlook the fact that the book is markedly different (and, unsurprisingly, much better), this is a well-acted, solid thriller with a few illogicalities. But what buries this further underground is its attempt to adapt it to fit the current political situation. This attempt was seriously unsuccessful and it lacks the “urgency" of the original.

Given that I was expecting a formally conservative political thriller, this paranoid sicko raised creases in my face. A fantastically shot drama comparable in every way to Jacob's Ladder. But here it also hits hard, because what worked in the 50s might work today on a more metaphorical level, reflecting even more overtly American wounds than the conflict half of people have forgotten nowadays anyway. After all, every politician has a trigger chip and without necessarily needing to drill into his skull.

It's not exactly a great remake, but then again it's not a bad movie. Jonathan Demme is such an experienced director that he managed to make a quality film, but it lacks the power and impressions you'll have after watching the original. Moreover, even the final outcome is quite different, which is simply a pity. History did not repeat itself here.
