Great director. Great actor. Great Movie.

Rating: 10/10 (25 December 1999)

Denzel Washington is the greatest actor of our decade. This movie only confirms that. The guy can play any type of character from slave to civil rights leader. From crippled cop to wrongly-accused boxer. He can do anything well. He makes bad movies good. This movie is tremendous. Norman Jewison's direction is comparable to his "In the Heat of the Night." Great director. Great actor. Great Movie.
