Absolutely Terrible

Rating: Null/10 (8 May 2004)

Nothing to like in this one, except for 'the Walken'. Soundtrack is terrible, doesn't fit the movie. Editing is horrendous. Attempt at style in camera work was often laughable. You cant tint an entire movie blue and pass it off as style. Subtitles flying in from all over the place, appearing at the top of the screen, and letters disappearing on their own free will was really distracting. Might as well have casted Vin Diesel in this one. Denzel's performance was forgettable, and the entire movie played like XXX. I was skeptical of another 2.5 hour Tony Scott action movie, and rightly so. This movie offered one of the funniest lines ever though, "Creasy's art is death, and he's about to paint his masterpiece."
