Rating: 5/10 (5 May 2006)

Standard thriller, nothing really original, just a 10-minute movie stretched out to 2 hours that you keep watching just to find out how they did it. All the actors are good, but the writing is weak and none of the characters are interesting.
Ten lines of text?
um....
well, Chiwitel Ejiftor, or however he spells his crazy name is in it. I know he's a superb actor, since he plays the greatest villain of all time in Serenity, but now he's just a "yes, sir, good idea boss" character. Denzel Washington plays the standard competent cop with integrity, and Clive Owen plays the standard brilliant icy-cold mastermind. It all works enough to justify the story, but not enough to keep me actually "thrilled." So...tolerable enough to watch if it's on TV, I wouldn't pay money for this.
