The bodyguard's bloody revenge

Rating: 6/10 (28 September 2004)

This highly improbable story (is it veridical I mean inspired in some real events?) is well told indeed in a bright succession of short plans and brief sequences that rivet your attention all the time with no gaps in the action from beginning to the end. Denzel Washington is superb as the cold blooded bodyguard that starts a series of well planned and executed killings to revenge the murder of the child that he protected. There is not much more to say about this movie because the simplicity of the script doesn't allow great raptures of creativity or imagination. Therefore this movie can be classified more as an honest work of an artisan than a masterpiece of an artist.
