Accordingly, Colonel Bill Styles (TIM DALY) calls in DEA Agent and former Ranger interrogator Tom Hardy (JOHN TRAVOLTA) to see what he can dig up. This doesn't sit well with current investigator Julia Osborne (CONNIE NIELSEN) since Hardy isn't in the Army anymore and is currently under investigation for accepting bribes.
Nevertheless, the two begin working together with Hardy obviously experienced at getting such witnesses to talk. As the two hear wildly varying stories from the witnesses about what happened and how they may or may not have a connection to a local doctor, Vilmer (HARRY CONNICK, JR.), the two investigators try to sort through the clues, accounts and apparent lies to get to the bottom of the matter.
Profanity consists of at least 55 "f" words, while other expletives and colorful phrases are also used. Some brief, sexually explicit dialogue is also present. Violence consists of various people shooting, stabbing or otherwise killing others, with some bloody results. Other fighting is also present and there's one scene that involves projectile vomiting of a great deal of blood.
Some of those moments and other scenes might be suspenseful or unsettling for some viewers, and various characters have varying degrees of bad attitudes. Various characters smoke and/or drink (with one commenting on being drunk), while some drug references are made (regarding some people who allegedly are involved in dealing drugs).
