7/10 Convincing acting, good script, well-paced, annoying cinematography.

Rating: 7/10 (9 November 2004)

I like Denzel Washington and Christopher Walken, and I was happy to see both doing a good job in this film. Everyone has their bad films, and neither of these gentleman can claim this as their 'bad one'.
Acting: Everyone did well in this film. Kudos to the little girl, she's a fantastic actor. (Too bad she's aware of that.) I've yet to see Christopher Walken in something really out of his style. Nevertheless, this was good, and he managed well enough with the material he was given. Denzel did what he always does, and that's good enough for now. Mickey Rourke did about what you'd expect as a slick lawyer. The supporting cast was exceptional. I was particularly impressed with the driver of the 'bad guys' car, and the guy from New Jersey.
Plot: Well, gee, I don't know. A non-Mexican man in Mexico City walking around in a business suit who is wanted by corrupt officials. Frankly, he stands out like a national monument, and I haven't the experience to say whether this is possible without quick death or not. I didn't see him wearing a bulletproof vest, and anyone can be victim of a good driveby. If a reporter can find him, then so can anyone else who wants to find him badly enough.
Script: No problems here. Even the one-liners were delivered with some sense of self-satire. It seemed pretty good.
Overall, I like the movie. There are better, but this one's good.
