Edge of your seat stuff

Rating: Null/10 (10 August 2004)

What a great show. I have never been much of a fan of the many short cuts and overlays which appear in this film. (Not to mention all the hand held stuff) For some reason it just didn't matter this time. Denzil Washington has to be one of the finest actors in America today. Radha Mitchell played such a fine part, it took me half the film to recognize her as an Aussie. Like fine wine, Christopher Walken gives another fine performance. The script seemed simple, but you can't ignore Tony Scott - The energy in his directing is more than apparent. This is what the movie Fallen (Another Denzil Washington thriller) could have been with a good director and a better script. Don't miss one of the best 'non animated' films of 1994. The best Denzil Washington film since Crimson Tide. I especially like the tribute to Mexico at the end - I suppose Mexico City would be special if only the cops tried just a little to hide the fact that every single one of them is corrupt. I've been to over fifty countries around the world - The places I will never return to are Mexico and Zimbabwe. I'll take a corrupt U.S. White House over Mexican cops anyday.
