It took nearly 20 years for this to travel the treacherous road from stage and screen.
Oh dear...what a wasted journey.
First, Morgan Spector's performance is unacceptably wooden. The others do their best with what can only be described as a wishy-washy script.
Second, the story develops at a snail's pace...and, when it does pick up, it ends within a few undramatic minutes. You can almost hear the people saying: Was that it?!?
Third, the direction...or lack of...typical for a first-time film director/writer/producer...it's that too-close-to-the-project problem - yet again. It could have been/should have been a much better film...alas...indeed, alas, it's not.
No passion. No panache. No punch. No pace. No point.

The(ir) Blurb...
Following two fatal aircraft accidents aboard an Aircraft Carrier, a government agent is placed aboard the ship.

The aviator and three of his squadron mates and their spouses all become the subject of a deadly modern day witch hunt entangling them in a web of jealousy and deceit which tests their concept of love, friendship and honor and changes their lives forever.
