an instant success from start to finish

Rating: 7/10 (3 November 2007)

I went into this movie expecting a lot from it.. because of who is staring in it and what it represents.. Well i was very pleased this movie grabs u from the beginning and doesn't let you go until the end. Denzel deserves an Oscar for this one no doubt, i would say this was one of his top performances.. no so much the same for russel crowe but was still entertaining.. This is in my opinion the best movie since casino and goodfellas but its not a wiseguy movie. It shows you the gangster side of the story and the good clean non corrupt cop side of the story then comes together in the end.. This definitely deserves movie of the year without a doubt in my mind... 9/10 for me..
