Interesting Action Flick

Rating: 8/10 (24 November 2006)

Denzel Washington plays an ATF cop that gets involved in a suspected terrorist bombing of a ferry boat , carrying about 500 military personnel & their friends & families on board . James Caviezel plays the terrorist that thinks of himself as a patriot ; don't they all ? Val Kilmer is the F.B.I. agent that gets Denzel involved in the case because of Denzel's keen sense of observation . Bruce Greenwood plays the head of a top-secret new project , that is able to see into the past . But , of course , there are limitations on their surveillance capabilities . They can only go to a period in time , once ; hence the need for Denzel's powers of observation . They can look at the period from different angles or speed up or slow down , but not reverse . In these time-jumping-kind-of-movies , there always has to be some kind of rules , just to make it interesting . Tony Scott is the director . He is very capable of handling action movies & does a good job here . I enjoyed it , but you might have to pay attention to some of the clues that are scattered thru-out the movie or you might get lost .
