Righting wrongs

Rating: Null/10 (26 March 2002)

Ok, you wouldn't really want to know Alonzo, but you sleep better knowing he's out there arresting dealers, right? He has put many of them in prison, even though we deplore his methods. Hoyt is fine, has noble instincts, but is just too soft to be a top narc.
I'm glad Denzel won the Oscar for playing somebody real, instead of the desexualized, whitewashed mathematician Russell Crowe and Ron Howard gave us. Remember those buddy flicks of shameful memory, where Gene Wilder has most of the fun, and gets the girl, and Richard Pryor just has to take what's left? Now we have a black star who shows us HIS machismo, HIS ability, HIS sexuality for a change.
