What was Denzel thinking...|?

Rating: 2/10 (31 December 2014)

I don't mind rubbish, if it's entertaining rubbish. I don't even mind lazy film making, if it's at least on a par with other cheap entertainments... but this is garbage.
I'm especially disappointed that Denzel Washington was in this. Indeed, I feel sorry for all the other actors (jobbing or otherwise) who clearly did their best... with this cheap imitation of a film.
My general 'rule of thumb' for a bad movie, is that I could have written it. In this case... I could have written this when I was 7 years old.
'Formulaic'. 'Robotic'. 'Unimaginative'. As exciting as unwrapping a new toilet roll.
All I wanted was a half decent movie that delighted me with feelings of revenge, justice and juvenile type pleasing violence. Instead... I got pretentious posing, a ludicrous 'set up'... and enough clichés to last me a lifetime.
Denzel Washington is far better than this turkey.
