Let the River of Pain Flow

Rating: 8/10 (28 December 2005)

To all of you who began to watch this movie and decided it wasn't moving fast enough, shame on you! The beginning of the flick is purposefully drawn out to build up the conclusion. If we would not have witnessed Creasy's growing attachment to little Pita, the end would have no emotional effect. Dakota Fanning never ceases to amaze me, either. It's hard to believe that child is only twelve years old! She performs better than most of the mainstream adult actresses. Denzel, as always, gives a knock-out performance. Even Christopher Walken's character is worth the view. Who else could play a slightly deranged ex-assassin as well as he?
