Perfect Cohesion of All Involved!

Rating: 10/10 (31 July 2019)

I just discovered this gem because I was hunting around for movies with Denzel Washington. I happen to think that he is an exceptional actor and this movie did nothing to make me think otherwise.
I enjoy the "revenge" story when it's done properly and although it might be a little dark and violent, this movie most definitely is a revenge story done properly.
As I said above, the cohesion of all the characters in this movie is phenomenal, beginning with Denzel and Dakota. While I watched the movie I was in awe of the amazing talent of that little girl and how well she worked with everyone, especially Denzel. There was obviously a chemistry between the two of them that transposed into the lens and both of them were able to convince the viewer that they weren't watching actors portraying parts, but in fact were watching a bodyguard and his charge interacting with each other.
Now here there be spoilers, so be warned.
I KNEW that Samuel was involved with the kidnapping but didn't quite realize that the smarmy lawyer would be involved also. I liked that the father killed the lawyer and especially loved how Creasy dealt with the father.
No more spoilers now.
If you like "revenge" stories and can handle gritty violence than this movie will be right up your alley. I DO suggest than you watch this movie if for nothing more than to be blown away about how a 9/10 year old actress seemingly puts more on the screen in her performance than those who have decades on her in experience.
