Action picture for thinking people

Rating: 9/10 (25 March 2006)

This ranks as one of the most fun pictures I've seen in awhile. It's a Spike Lee film, so the soundtrack is first rate. Visually it's stunning, and best of all it has good dialog, a great cast, and a good story.
All crime movies follow a formula, the best ones make you forget about it while it's happening.
The cast is first rate. Denzel, Jodie Foster, and Christopher Plummer all turn in fun performances. The secondary characters are just as strong. That adds up to a great experience during the entire movie. Some of the best lines are delivered by bit characters.
Some people will consider this a plot driven movie, but I think it's much more.
