OK but not great

Rating: 4/10 (20 April 2006)

With all the great people acting in the movie, I expected something better than what I got. It was OK, but not what I expected from someone like Denzel Washington or Jodie Foster. There was a lot of pointless foul language, like the scene between Foster and the mayor of NYC. I never felt like I was on the edge of my seat, nor were there any big surprises. There was also absolutely no clue as to the motivation of the Clive Owen character in his vendetta against the Christopher Plummer character. I got a little worried when I was the only one in the the theater until about five minutes after the show started. All in all, I would rather have watched a rerun of "The Silence of the Lambs" or "The Pelican Brief".
