Brilliant Denzel

Rating: 6/10 (15 October 2000)

What is so odd about this film is that it is not as engaging as it should be considering it's based upon a true story. The film doesn't get *really* interesting until the last 40 minutes or so. It is certainly not Denzel Washington's fault, though. He is one of the finest actors ever to bless the big screen with his presence and he certainly deserved the Oscar nod this year. But the film... Don't get me wrong, it's a good film, but it wasn't very gripping given what it is about. (6/10)
