Almost there till half-way through...then Hollywood wins again

Rating: 5/10 (8 April 2006)

Certainly this film had me for the first half, then lost me completely at the nightclub - for spoiler reasons. From then on it was decidedly downhill, which was a pity because it promised so much. Denzel was very, very good, but why not try to tell a REAL story? Couldn't we take it? I think we could have - given that we were expected to take the wacky film technique - which would have worked if the script had been in sync. (Note: I would prefer it if I could spell wacky as I normally do in my country, but am not allowed to in this database.)
Liked Mickey Rourke too. Missed him for so long. The kid is absolutely glorious. Dakota just does it for me in every scene. Maybe she could have a word to Tony Scott and tell him a few things about how things on film should be done. Tony, you shouldn't have given in to Hollywood with this one. You had the best actors on your side.
