A missed opportunity

Rating: 4/10 (31 January 2015)

This could have been good, the idea was good, but between the script, the lead actor strutting style and the Mr Invincible Persona, this in the end was quite poor and not even remotely believable (makes James Bond look true to life). Given the TV series had a measure of sense, they seemed to have gone OTT with this as while letting their lead do his brooding act at the start to then his arrogant can't touch me smart alec style. Denzel Washington does his usual self-righteous peacock acting and at no stage is there any suspense as this leads to a predictable ending without even anything that goes anyway off cue. This is very disappointing as with a better script and a better actor (he seems to have one style and that's it), this could have been done better. I think if Superman,Batman and the Marvel avengers all turned up, Washingtons character could beat them all up while drinking a cup of tea.
