Top Notch Denzel as usual

Rating: 10/10 (20 March 2006)

This movie was fantastic, and very, very well done. Extremely gritty, passionate, with tons of cool headed, flat-out ruthless vengeance.
I don't think Denzel Washington can do anything bad when it comes to his acting. He is as talented and charismatic as they come. I would like to see it get no less than an 8 on the IMDb ratings. It certainly deserves it.
Mickey Rourke played the "rat lawyer" effortlessly. Walken was solid support role providing a tether to Creasy's turbulent and apparently regretful past. Mark Anthony surprised me with a fairly good performance opposite a presence like Denzel's, albeit he had little camera time.
I remember when it was released in theaters, and it didn't get much publicity in the Northeast at least. What a diamond in the rough in terms of getting so little promotion.
