A Total Emotional Roller-coaster

Rating: 9/10 (1 April 2015)

Denzel Washington never disappoints and in this better than average crime thriller, he offers up an outstanding performance as the morbidly depressive, alcoholic, ex CIA assassin, Creasy.
Creasy, a man hell-bent on self destruction, has his heart laid claim to by his employer's young daughter, Pita and her mother Lisa, who touch him as no-one else has been able to for quite some time.
When Creasy feels he has failed to protect his young charge, he sets out on a single handed revenge mission, which takes him far closer to home than he could ever have imagined! I have yet to read the book on which the film was based and I am not even sure that I should, as nothing can really come close to the intensity and emotional connection the film made on me.
