Rating: 10/10 (17 September 2004)

i don't care what others say, THIS MOVIE WAS GREAT! the acting was superb on denzels part (as always) and dakota fanning has proven herself to be one of the greatest child actresses ever. the music is fitting and the cinematography (although at times was hard to tell what was going on) was excellent.
there were a lot of put downs to this movie because of its stylized and unique camera work. i think it fits the vibe and feel for the movie perfectly. it was brilliantly done with careful attention to the editing and focusing. although it might seem like the camera man was playing with the focus nob, it was actually carefully planned; you can tell because nothing is out of place. you see what the director wants you to see.
go rent this movie with an open mind, you wont be sorry.
9/10
