An Excellent Movie - possible spoiler

Rating: 9/10 (5 July 2014)

The only thing about this movie that reduces the vote from 10 to 9 is the editing which sometimes looks like an MTV music video.
Besides that, this movie is great. Acting is super and the script is good. The story might seem shallow and lame, but when watching the movie, it is to the contrary. The interaction between Creasy (Denzel) and Lupita (Dakota) is great and very believable. I understand a love story between Creasy and Lisa (Lupita's mother) was cut out, and I am happy that is the case. When I watch the movie, I see "something brewing" between the two of them, which adds to the depth of the movie and to the characters. Creasy's character does not go well with an outright love story like that...but on the other hand, his feelings for Lupita is very believable and it is actually quite heart-breaking to see how little innocent Lupita can break through the thick wall of loneliness and pain that surrounds Creasy.
The action is great and just enough. Walken is, as always, excellent in his supporting role. It is just something about that guy...just watch him deliver the following sentence in the scene when he talks to the police officer and takes a piece of food: "A man can be an artist...Creasy's art is death...he is about to paint his masterpiece." All the other supporting actors are very good too.
Definitely worth watching and why not buy it so you have it handy when you want to see a "masterpiece".
