Good acting, slightly stretched out but all in all, Good Film

Rating: Null/10 (27 April 2004)

I enjoyed this movie but it wasn't THAT great. I found the best parts to be near the beginning, pre-kidnap, because I just loved how Creasy (Denzel) and Pita's (Dakota) relationship was progressing. It was so adorable and heartwarming...I think I would have liked the movie more if it focused on the way she was able to break down his tough coating and bring out the sweetness in him. I loved the scene where she noticed him smiling and when he was training her for swimming and advising her to burp. I think a few more of those lovable scenes would have been nice. The rest of it was good too, and kind of exciting. It disturbed me a little bit at how ruthless Creasy could be to the people he was getting information from but the action was exciting. The end, though I wont give it away, was a bit depressing. It's not the greatest movie ever, but it's not a bad one either. Good acting, good plot, good SFX.
7/10
