Well Done!!

Rating: 6/10 (28 February 2008)

The acting by Denzel Washington was superb! I believe that he enjoys playing this type of role ("Training Day," etc). Russell Crowe was very good. James Brolin made you really hate him. This usually means that the actor did a good job. Good direction. Good photography, a little dark at times, but well shot. Good story line that was interesting and easy to follow. Politics must have had something to do with the fact that the movie did not win any academy awards. The ending was somewhat surprising, but done well. In my opinion, Denzel Washington should have won the best actor award and that Russell Crowe should have won best supporting actor.
