I enjoyed the movie, but thought that Alan Alda and Ronny Cox should have switched roles. As much as I like Alda, he just isn't effective as a tough Secretary of Defense, and Cox doesn't play a liberal president well.

SPOILERS
This was probably done specifically to keep viewers guessing. Of course the second you see Ronny Cox, you think, "Oh! He did it. He was the bad guy in Total Recall and Robocop" You would NEVER think that Hawkeye Pierce is the bad guy. Good casting. Something similar but different was done in "Shoot to Kill". All of the suspects were played by actors who all played bad guys at some point in their careers which kept people guessing. -

I must agree that the film definitely is constructed in a way that you never suspect who the killer really is. Snipes gives one of his best performances as does Alan Alda, whose performance is positively chilling.

Check out THE OUTSIDERS, THE PERFECT STORM, and THE COTTON CLUB. The only reason you don't notice how bad she is in THE PERFECT STORM is because mary Elizabeth Mastrontonio is so much worse, she makes everyone else in the film look Oscar-worthy.
