Just saw this on USA tonight. I usually like Sam Elliot , but the usual "good-guy-doesn't-really -kill-anybody" theme is a little thin. If the character had the training/experience portrayed , well , it was just a movie. And I still like Sam Elliot.

Alaric,
He was special forces. It was explained throughout the show that he was special forces and he started helping people who couldn't help themselves when his daughter was murdered by a guy.

It was originally shown on TNT and in HDTV. It debuted last Sunday.

I thought it was a good premise. I especially liked the idea of the character being a lawyer. That would seem to have been a post-military occurence and it was refreshing to see a soldier portrayed as something besides an emotionally blind killing machine or a weepy , regretful participant. The U.S. Special Forces are the cream of the crop , and can generally hold their own in an intellectual capacity. Their political science education is probably superior to many (if not most) highly rated colleges.
I also understand sound tactics take a backseat to making an entertaining film.It wasn't meant to be a documentary-and I have spent numerous two-hour blocks of my life on far less entertaining endeavors. And I still like Sam Elliot.
