brutal,not your typical Denzel role

Rating: Null/10 (3 January 2002)

It you come to this movie expecting to see the usual Denzel Washington role, you will be disappointed. The movie was rather brutal, especially to Ethan Hawke as a rookie narcotics officer, as catastrophe after catastrophe befalls him. Washington's role is somewhere between the good guy and the bad guy.
** 1/2 out of ****
