Too Long, Too Stylish

Rating: 4/10 (26 April 2004)

Thought the acting was really good. Denzel as usually gave a great performance. However thought the story could have been told equally well around 2 hours. The statement that Denzel was going to "paint his Death masterpiece" never materialized. He did not go "above and beyond" the call of revenge so my question is why make the masterpiece statement to begin with? There were many parts of the movie that slowed down and made you "look at your watch". Did not like the "stylish" jerky/out of focus camera work that accompanied too much of the filming.
