Set this movie on fire!!!(*contains spoilers*)

Rating: Null/10 (14 October 2004)

Well as all people would have noticed that this movie has two parts- the first half and the second half. Well the first half was bad and the second half was worst. It was definitely much more disturbing than I expected it to be, and hence was a disappointed. Unlike other movies, the cast did not have any elements of chemistry- and this acted towards it's negativity, because it made a person feel that the casting was not done right. Denzil Washington's performance was just not my favorite - though he does have the looks of a villain, his acting just was not right. Marc Anthony gave a tolerable performance, and unlike other singer turned actors or actresses who tend to have lot of hype around the movie they are in, such that it is used as the main promotional tool. However Marc Anthony's performance flows naturally like a professional. Dakota Fanning as usual gave an outstanding performance that it now looks quite significant that that an Oscar is not too far way. In fact Dakota gives the best performance in this movie. The second half of the movie is just unbearable to an extent that any person who minds violence in movies would leave the theatre. I was very disappointed, I was expecting much more for a Denzil Washington movie. It just made Denzil look like a freak with a gun. This movie was released in tie with '13 going on 30' , but this made it to no. 1, making Jennifer Garner's movie at no 2 with a margin of 1 million  however this movie didn't deserved all the hype and status that it got- it just makes me conclude that Mexico is a country which cannot have kids playing freely.
