7.2?? I'd rather get hit with a 7.2 earthquake than watch this again!

Rating: 3/10 (6 October 2004)

There is now proof that some shadowy organization is spiking the drinking water supply in this country with some mind-altering substance, because this movie is rated at 7.2. I'd rather get hit with a 7.2 earthquake than watch this again.
The directing and pacing are the biggest gripes about this average movie. It would be nice if the camera would just stop moving around for .3 seconds, but I guess the style of directing is meant for the MTV generation. One would think an action movie would move along quite well, but this one plods. And a plodding movie with an EXTREMELY AGGRAVATING style of direction means one thing: I'll be opening more beers just to get through it.
The acting is substandard at best. The little girl is so annoying that I was rooting for her kidnappers. Nothing about Denzel's past is mentioned to explain why he is so f-ed up, either. What a waste of 2.5 hours!
