darn good movie

Rating: 9/10 (7 July 2007)

this is simply a very good movie! Ethan Hawke was great and Denzel Washington - just outstanding and so inspiring as the villain.
This is a story about who you are, what do you want to be, and what price you are prepared to pay to get there (as a side note - remember the ad in the NY sub - 'how bad do you want to be good' :)
A story of corrupt cops, duty, the line between good and bad. It is interesting to see the people Jake(Ethan Hawke) meets during his first 'training' day in this new team. Interesting to see how people, who we initially take for 'bad' guys care more about honor and duty than persons who's 'job' it is to protect these values
Eva Mendes also has a small role too, that for me is hilarious, but i guess this was just a step forward for her towards 'star'-status later in her career
9/10 for story, acting and production
peace
