Good but not great.

Rating: 6/10 (29 May 2006)

I should have waited for this on home video. I actually saw this on its opening weekend and was left with a feeling that is was merely okay. In fact, now that a few months have past, I can say I don't really remember many smaller details about the film. I do, however, recall Denzel Washington and Jody Foster delivering typically excellent performances, squeezing every last drop out of pretty shallowly written dialog. Same goes for Clive Owen. The concept of this movie is the star, not the humans that are depicted in the story, so it becomes a bit of a waste of some of the greatest actors Hollywood currently has to offer.
