Denzel saves the day...

Rating: 7/10 (29 June 2000)

.. for an otherwise not very exciting or brilliant film. The weak point really is the screenplay. It deals almost mechanically with the events as they happened. Thankfully director Norman Jewison has some nice tricks to keep the viewer interested and he had the luck of having Denzel Washington for the lead role. IMHO, he should have gotten the Oscar over Kevin Spacey for American Beauty...
