Why is this movie rated so low


I really enjoyed this movie when I saw it, which was a couple of years ago. I don't know what the other threads say but I'm curious as to why so many people think it's not a very good movie. Am I the only one who think this movie should be at least a 7.5?

Because on terms of excitement and entertainment it is right up there with watching grass grow and paint dry. It is also a full of *beep* politically correct bowl full of mental masturbation

This movie received some excellent reviews at the time.

I would categorize a 6.6 rating as pretty fair for a movie like this. Parts of it are rather hokey and don't seem that authentic. The part where Lou Diamond Phillip's character shouts "She's deaaaaaaaad" in slow motion bordered on laugh out loud cheesiness.

If I was feeling less generous, I'd give this wannabe A Few Good Men even a 4 or 5 rating.
