Anyone who has kids...this will make your blood boil

Rating: 10/10 (7 April 2005)

This is one of my favorite movies, as I too like the "revenge" genre. Denzel gives another great and believable performance and Creasy. He is an ex covert operative whose demons from his past make him want to blow his own head off, which he attempts and the round doesn't go off. I guess that was saying that he is still supposed to be alive. When Pita shows him that it is OK to live again, and then she is taken and he is critically injured, my stomach literally turned. When he leaves the hospital early and they tell him he is going to die if he does, the way he says he is going to "I'm gonna do what I do best. I'm gonna kill em. Anyone who was involved. Anyone who profited." He says this with such a cold feeling, you can feel the hatred through the screen. When he finds the first guy and tells him if he lies, he is going to cut his fingers off one by one...I couldn't help but think that was very cold-blooded and I would do the same thing if someone too my kid.
All in all, a VERY underrated movie. I like the washed out film similar to THREE KINGS. Tony Scott actually made a movie that has an in depth story line, unlike his usual fare (Top Gun, Days of Thunder...he is a Jerry Bruckheimer fav), and the choppy shooting helps you feel the emotions the characters go through. Great movie
