There's No Flawless Movie

Rating: Null/10 (9 October 2001)

If you can lose yourself in the overall action WITHOUT nit-picking technical issues or plot inconsistancies/holes to the bone, you might enjoy this fast-paced action movie.
My personal opinion-from one who has never been on that side of the street-it had a dark, gritty realist feeling. I know there are cops out there who are tempted to cross the line and do so for whatever motives. No shocker there. That one might involve a rookie on his first day and really *(^* with his head, well, hey, I can suspend disbelief if the action is hot.
I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Denzel in a villanous role and thought he carried it off to award perfection. DEFINITELY NOT OVER THE TOP- as some have claimed.
Ethan Hawke is a good foil as the naive rookie, eager to make dectective grade, who gets an unexpected mentor in Denzel.
Worth seeing again in my opinion.
