Bewildering comedy

What is the point of teaming John Travolta and Samuel L Jackson for the first time since Pulp Fiction and then keeping them apart on screen until the end?

This is just one of the questions you're left asking after watching John McTiernan's hilariously bewildering thriller.

It adopts a Usual Suspects clever-dickery while affecting a Rashomon multipoint of view idea, and fails to deliver in either category. A bunch of rangers on training in the Panama jungle shoot each other up and the survivors offer wildly different accounts of what happened. Travolta and Connie Nielsen try to sort it out. They don't.
