Not Impressed

Rating: 5/10 (30 March 2006)

I will admit, I left the theater somewhat impressed with the movie, but looking back, this movie is a 5 at best. I felt like the seriousness of some scenes were completely out of place with the comedy relief of others. The movie is also filled with clichÃ©s that make the writing look cheap.
I do agree with others though that Jodie Foster is great in this. Her character is good and its a nice change (albeit a subtle one) from her typical roles. Denzel gives a solid but uninspired performance. I think the best actor in the whole movie is the one you can't even see (don't want to spoil it so I won't say who it is).
