Although Morgan Freeman is the leading actor in the film, in fact, the focus of the film is on Claire's husband Tom, and many mysteries unfold in front of Claire and the audience. Of course, it is difficult for the audience to give full trust to the military's statement. Morgan Freeman said in the film a wonderful and timeless line: "The so-called justice of the military is to justice itself, just as military music is to music." The implication is that military music is not music, let alone justice.
The approach of the director and screenwriter is admirable because they did not provide one-sided evidence. On the contrary, they made two opposing views (Tom is guilty or innocent) with justifiable evidence, making the audience unable to guess the final result. How, always tugging for the people in the film. The film makes full use of the language of the lens to show the different perspectives of the flashback, so that the massacre has both positive views and negative arguments.
Ashley Judd's performance in the film is wonderful. She makes the original light-weight role appear heavy. However, this kind of popular film is really useless and harmful to the growth of an actor
.
