Oscar film, no flaws, only great acting and action

Rating: Null/10 (24 March 2002)

First off, unlike the cheap critic who first wrote the review, for the film, I can say that the film has no flaws. Also Ethan Hawke's characters is not subdued, in fact, Hawke's character (Jake Hoyt) while being sensitive and moral, is at the same intense level as Denzel Washington's.
You can't write a review, without describing the plot.
The story is very real and vivid. It concerns a rookie cop (Hawke) who is assigned to a veteran narcotics cop named Alonzo Harris (Denzel Washington).
During hia first few days on the job. Hoyr observes how Harris does his job of busting crooks and drug dealers. Alonzo is like a Dirty Harry movie, everyone in the city knows who he is and is scared to death of the gritty cop.
However, underneath, that great cop lies a crooked, corrupt policeman who is playing both sides of the law....
This is Denzel Washington best role ever, and I hope he wins the Oscar over that little wimp Russell Crowe.
Ethan Hawke is also great as Jake Hoyt. In fact both actors have been nominated for their roles in the movie.
I just checked out the DVD, and it's absolutely fantastic!!!
Movie of the year, hands down.
