47 of 47 · most liked firstRules of Engagement (2000) by William Friedkin. A deeply racist, xenophobic, and Anti-Muslim film. It was rightfully vilified by the scholar Jack G. Shaheen. Strangely enough Friedkin's Sorcerer (1977) has a likable Palestinian protagonist and is a much better movie.
unlabelledView post →I'm watching the second half of the movie, "Rules of Engagement." I have to say that I like to watch movies in which Tommy Lee Jones appears. He just looks and acts like a fellow you'd know as a neighbor. 🏆💯 -E

unlabelledView post →John Sperdakos has a long list of credits in films like Blackout and Rules of Engagement. I have to be honest with you, I don't remember him in any film. but I think John has found the role he will be Remembered for in CRUMB CATCHER
unlabelledView post →Abysmal. Bottom of the pile, unquestionably the worst Friedkin film I've seen. And as there's only two left to go, there's a fair chance it's staying there. This makes 'Rules of Engagement' look good.
unlabelledView post →Shame Rules of Engagement is such a shit evil film. Courage under Fire is geest though.
unlabelledView post →#NowWatching Rules of Engagement. Not exactly the best movie viewing right now but I'm a glutton for punishment when it comes to Guy Pearce.

Balance of Terror is The Enemy Below, Rules of Engagement was DS9’s Rashoman, a TNG episode was a Polanski film, Voyager did Stephen Kimg’s Christine, etc etc etc. Oh, DS9 Donnie Brasco…
unlabelledView post →RIP to the king of the movie gobshites. My favorite Friedkin commentary was for the execrable Rules of Engagement, a ghastly RW POS, during which he sounds like he can't remember why he made any of the choices he did. https://variety.com/2023/film/news/william-friedkin-dead-the-exorcist-1235689676/
unlabelledView post →I feel like nobody really knows about the movie Rules of Engagement. It's a movie where a bunch of US soldiers in Yemen completely massacre a crowd, but a cowardly liberal congressman hides a video tape that shows that literally every man, woman, and child in the crowd was firing at the soldiers.

unlabelledView post →I've thought poorly of Sen Schumer since I saw his dismissive attitude towards Branch Davidians in the Congressional Hearings on Waco in July 1995. My familiarity with that came from the 1997 film "Waco: The Rules of Engagement." Here's a link to the documentary: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZ08...
unlabelledView post →Err… Unless that movie is ‘The Rules of Engagement’, a movie about justifying war crimes (Not so much a bad movie, but problematic as hell). 💁♂️
unlabelledView post →Rules of Engagement …? never heard of it but i guess a military movie
unlabelledView post →I’ve seen Rules of Engagement. Directed by late Exorcist director William Friedkin. Amazing movie. Severely underrated. In my list of top 30 favorite Samuel L. Jackson movies.
unlabelledView post →Though I can’t make much of a case for RULES OF ENGAGEMENT, it does seem like a film where the writers and Friedkin were so incensed by how terrible A FEW GOOD MEN is that they were like “no. Just no.”
unlabelledView post →Boring as Hell, with an incredibly bad cast and an incomprehensible script. Without question the worst Friedkin film I've seen so far (makes the atrocious 'Rules of Engagement' look good), and I'll be stunned if he did anything worse than this.

He met Daddy Price for 5 minutes, watched a man explode and decided he's a big edgy boy now. I love this man, but wtf? Loved when he grew out of it.

unlabelledView post →After a squad of US Marines are despatched to rescue their embattled ambassador to the Yemen (Sir Ben Kingsley), the mission turns quite deadly and the National Security Advisor (Bruce Greenwood) concludes that it’s in everyone’s best interests to take the commander - Col. Childers (Samuel L. Jackson) and hang him out to dry. Luckily for them, he has a bit of a reputation as a maverick and so the court-martial could just be a box-ticking exercise for the prosecuting Maj. Biggs (Guy Pearce).…

And it still bothers me far less than "Rules of Engagement" from Deep Space Nine because they're still arguing the case.
unlabelledView post →I think my problem is with Tommy Lee Jones. He’s in two of those movies on that list. Another movie of his that I can’t stand him in was Rules Of Engagement which was ruined by Jones and Guy Pearce’s Chicago + Australian + WTF accent.

unlabelledView post →It had everything to be much better and complex, but it was deliberately simplified to become a courtroom drama with touches of puffed up patriotism. I was never in the military, I didn't need to be (I'll be the first to volunteer if my country needs it), but I am the son of an ex-military man, a war veteran with years of combat in Africa. And I know that, when you are in a combat scenario, the rules don't matter, what matters is getting out of there alive, and the concern of an officer with…
