I wanted to like this movie

Rating: 4/10 (12 May 2004)

This movie ended up being mostly hype. While Denzel Washington and Marc Anthony do good service to their roles, they fall victim to a bad director with a bad interpretation of a great story. This could have been an excellent revenge movie, but perhaps I set it to a standard that could not be achieved. This blow- em-up action movie is just an early summer blockbuster with nothing to deliver but a lack of editing. The director obviously tries to emulate great cinematography, but gave me spells of nausea. There is no depth to the "bad guys", and the climax was stunted severely. Denzel shows off again, but I wish he had picked a better movie to do it in.
