Denzel's finest to date

Rating: 9/10 (25 April 2004)

I didn't want to see this movie at all. After seeing the trailer, I felt like I'd seen it already. Plus action is not my favorite genre...but the in-laws dragged me to the theater on opening day.
What a pleasant surprise this was! Finally Denzel was given a role with some serious range, and he definitely delivered. Far better than Training Day, this movie had it all. This is definitely an Oscar-worthy performance, and hopefully won't be completely obscured by the Passion when the time comes.
Drama, action, emotional scenes, even a bit of comedy here and there.
See it on the big screen - don't be cheap and wait for video!
