The true star of this film is Mike Boom

Rating: 5/10 (13 January 2008)

I'm not sure if this was a great film or not. I was too distracted by the microphone boom dipping into every other shot. Was Ridley Scott too busy counting his money? What lazy film-making. At least it will make a great drinking game when the DVD comes out. Viewers will be dead drunk after 2o minutes.
Too be fair, Denzel Washington, Russell Crowe, and Mike Boom give fairly compelling performances. It's nice to see someone throw "Show Me The Money" guy a bone. And seeing Stringer Bell was cool too. The flick is like a very sloppy version of The Wire. Sad when HBO TV is a thousand times better than a big name flick like this.
We really have become a nation of half-as slackers, haven't we? Time to start watching more foreign films I guess.
