Somewhat original

Rating: 8/10 (19 November 2004)

Although full of clichés - I liked it. The storyline was just what I expected and guessed. This however did not matter because editing, cinematography was well done. I didn't have any expectations so it was nice to sit and "digest" whatever came on the screen. Walken was very good and Denzel was "denzel".
I thought the "rhythm" was very fluent.
Sometimes the somewhat original style was over used and bothered me (music, style).
Like many of the films this has to be rated mainly as an action film. As an action film 4-/5 as a film in general 3-/5.
