Short description
A US Army officer, who made a "friendly fire" mistake that was covered up, has been reassigned to a desk job. He is tasked to investigate a female chopper commander's worthiness to be awarded the Medal of Honor. At first all seems in order. But then he begins to notice inconsistencies between the testimonies of the witnesses...
What's left behind the scenes
- To lose weight for filming scenes these days, Matt Damon rigorously exercised and followed a strict diet, losing at least 18 kg. This resulted in noticeable health problems, so the actor was monitored by doctors for several months after filming wrapped.
- In an interview in October 2009, Bronson Pinchot revealed that during filming, Denzel Washington was unbearably rude to him and other actors in order to stay in character.
- The main idea of the film is borrowed from Akira Kurosawa's crime drama "Rashomon" (1950).
- In preparation for the role, Denzel Washington closely communicated with two veterans of the Persian Gulf War (1990-1991).
- The main idea of the film is borrowed from Akira Kurosawa's crime drama 'Rashomon'.
