Astounding...

Rating: Null/10 (8 February 2002)

Well I didn't like the intensity of the violence, but if you look past that, then you will enjoy this movie. I am a fan of Matthew Broderick and Denzel Washington, and Denzel deserved that oscar he received for Best Supporting Actor! Matthew Broderick transformed himself from the boyish persona he established with Ferris Bueller's Day Off to a mature and challenged man. He changed the way he looked, the sound of his voice, and even the way he carried himself. I think he should have at least gotten an Oscar nomination for this brilliant performance of Robert Gould Shaw. The cinematagraphy was superb, the acting excellent, and the script great. I give it four out of four stars!
