Excellent film, nothing new, but a great film nonetheless

Rating: 10/10 (16 November 2007)

This film is superb, loved every minute of it, the cast, the scenery, everything. The story is a simple one, a lot like Blow, and Denzel carrys this one off just as well as Depp did. Denzel, Is my third tip for an Oscar nomination, the other two being Russel Crowe for 3:10 to yuma and Viggo Mortensen for Eastern Promises, but I doubt Denzel would win, as his performance is very similar to a lot of his other roles, but still worth the vote. Denzel was class as always in this film, he remains the cool, charming and eye catching performer. There's not much more to say about him really, he's just Denzel, and I don't mean that in a bad way. Russel Crowe is excellent in the supporting role, unlike Denzel, his versatility is what I really like about him, he brings the warmth to the film and person you can relate to. The rest of the class are great, although I hope Buffalo Bill doesn't get many more roles, as you always want him to clear his throat. Some of the shots I really enjoyed, one in particular is just when Denzel is walking down the street with his brothers in New York, I don't know why, but it just sticks in my head. Great film, iconic, already a favorite of mine.
