Powerful, thought provoking, intimidating Movie.

Rating: 9/10 (28 January 2000)

This movie is a solid 9! So powerful, thought provoking and intimidating all at the same time. I have not read the book but it makes me want to just to read his words. I don't think it was made to create sympathy or guilt but some may feel those things. It is sad to know that our "great society" has abused so many people- of all races, nationality & religion. We should learn from this movie. We can't take anything, especially our freedoms, for granted. There have always been and may always be someone with the power to change or destroy our lives and take away all we hold dear. He did what he had to do for survival but others humanity at first weekened him, then he drew strength.
So much could be said. Denzel should get nominated for Best Actor. All supporting roles were well played but not award level. Worth Seeing every minute-even the tough ones.
