Great movie but I'm not sure why yet

Rating: 9/10 (31 March 2006)

I really liked this movie a lot but I'm still not sure why. It just resonated with me. The movie felt like I was watching a great t.v. show and not a movie. Which may explain why everyone seemed so comfortable and remained in their seats even during the credits. Felt like I was sitting on my living room couch with a bucket of popcorn. Something about the way they shot the movie and the background music that gave it a t.v. feel.
Denzel did a wonderful job bringing the character to life and Jodi Foster was good herself. But I have seen Denzel and Jodi do more powerful roles.
The movie really did have an interesting plot and I still have questions about what happened. I didn't figure out all the twists to the movie and I think that's why the movie was so good to me. I'm still trying to put the pieces of the plot together.
For the entire movie I thought Dalton Russell was played by Nicholas Cage until I saw the credits. Clive Owen sounds JUST like Nicholas Cage. And looks like him too.
I really did like the theme song for that movie.
