HEED MY WORDS Hollywood, CAST DENZEL IN MORE ROLES!!! Let me put it this way, Denzel Washington has impressed me before, and he has also completely bored me for entire movies. And this movie, is by far one of his best performances (and get American Gangster out of your head, it was way overrated). Where to start? Lets see, well the writing of this film is totally spot on, it has such a pace and depth to the story that it just compels you to pay closer, and closer attention. Usually these disaster movies, hook you for the beginning, you loose attention in the middle as the pace slows, and then fails to entertain towards the end. NOT THIS. This movie will get you hook line and sinker. Acting? OH WOW. I didn't see John Goodman being cast in the role of his coke dealer, it was a total curve ball. AND I LOVED IT... When Denzel Washington, and Goodman, share the screen they captivate together, they play off each other, and make extremely memorable scenes. This movie was also shot very well, and with a lot of precision, the framing, and the cutting are spot on and keep the pace going. It never gets slow. BUT. Above the acting, and the way it was shot, and the writing, is the music. The music is a character in the film, and I like it because there are huge uses of the Rolling Stones, every time Goodmans Character is on screen. If you want a movie that you wont soon forget. Go watch this one, Id even recommend buying it.
