Reviews for The Lords of Discipline
To get to the fine moments, we must wade through some sloppy melodrama, clunky characterizations, and a hackneyed, clumsy final act.
Offers a hard look at the military mystique of honor, loyalty and discipline.
a fairly effective thriller, although it sometimes feels a bit mean-spirited and sadistic
