Sleeper hit?

Rating: 8/10 (29 March 2006)

Sometimes slow, sometimes fun, sometimes just watching/hearing Clive Owen work, all the time trying to figure out just what is going on... It's fab. I was not prepared for it, I was thinking it was going to be some poor vehicle for Denzel and Clive Owen. It was better than I expected ~ way better, and even though at times I was kind of wondering where it was going, I was always pleasantly surprised by the outcome. Everyone did well, not least of all Denzel, who seemed like he'd found something he could have fun with. His lovely police partner was a nice surprise (and left-handed, so he's OK with me, LOL) and even Jodie Foster did her bit well. I can't repeat what the Mayor called her, but he was bang-on ~ she certainly put her elbow in where needed. Watch it. If just for Clive.
