Breathtaking

Rating: 10/10 (29 September 2003)

One of the finest films Denzel Washington every has acted in. A brillant job he did first as 'Detriot Red' most people probably aren't fimilar with Malcom's previous way of life,but from what i've read about 'Detriot Red' he was portrayed well in this film in then some.

There never was really a boring spot in the film...verey dramatic of course..got your attention,kept your attention. The film covered all points of life,childhood how he is the only black in his school,and how his teacher discourages him from becoming his dream of being a lawyer. As a man in his twenties,where he becomes a con artist...his time spent in jail,his conversion into Islam..and they whole period of that,in his exile out of Islam,which led to his tragic and untimely death.
I give it 9/10 stars Denzel arrived after this movie,that's for sure!
