Very engaging and entertaining

Rating: 10/10 (5 June 2006)

I read a lot of the comments. And yes, many people find holes in the story but... Here is my perspective: I have not seen a decent movie in a loooong time. I found myself totally engaged. It went very fast (A good sign!). It made me think. It was like a classic old movie with a modern look and feel to it. And yes it is fantasy, and thats why it is a movie and not real life. And one should go in and just relax and let oneself be in the movie. If I had to find negatives: 1) Jodie Foster is too obviously trying to say: "I have aged but I am still sexy" ... That felt a little needy. 2) Denzel Washington: We all like him. But is he acting? or is this himself. He appears exactly as he always does: Confident, on top of things and always keeping a good sense of humor. Biggest positives: 1) FUN movie. 2) The New York cultural mix. 3) Spike Lee's creativity.
