Good entertaining movie

Rating: Null/10 (20 October 2001)

This is Denzel Washington's movie through and through. He's a tour de force of acting and carries this movie. The movie itself is about the first day of a rookie cop (Ethan Hawke)who is learning the ropes from the veteran cop (Denzel). I would have preferred if the movie didn't try to find a reason for the evil that is Denzel's character. But for this flaw, the movie is true to itself and well worth the time.
