Phenomenal

Rating: 10/10 (10 November 2007)

This movie had everything one could ask for to make it a film that is nearly flawless. The story was great, since the film is in fact based on a true story it makes the overall film that much more interesting and unique. Although it was a tad on the long side, there is enough interesting material to keep the viewers watching.
What makes the film so well done is the fact that it is not a copy of anything anybody has already seen before. Although it may seem like it at first, the viewers can take comfort in that fact that they won't have any feelings of Daja Vu. Denzel Washington and Russel Crowe's characters were both very in depth characters, which is good because the viewer may also take comfort in the fact that they will most likely leave the theatre feeling very satisfied without any unanswered questions, thanks to the fact that both the story and the characters were explained very thoroughly. The acting was outstanding, thanks to Russel Crowe and Dezel Washington. The fact that their overall acting performance was phenomenal it may change your whole opinion on the movie for the better.
I have never really been a big fan of movies that are longer then they need to be, but that's just me. However like I said before, there is enough material in here that keeps the movie going, and there's enough that the viewers won't feel that the movie is to repetitive or overdone. This movie is just right for anyone weather it be a fan of action, drama, crime, suspense, or anything of that nature.
Although typically this movie isn't meant to be an action movie, there is plenty of action, which is a good thing because the movie does an excellent job of pulling the action off in a way that is for the better rather then for the worse. Overall, this is a movie that is done right in all areas. Any fan of action, crime, etc, will definitely find this movie worth while and could watch it without having a single regret.
