Awesome!

Rating: 8/10 (27 March 2002)

Finally, Denzel manages to break away from his stigma of playing the good guy. I always *knew* he was an excellent actor, I just really got fed up with the type of roles he got dealt in movies lately.
Now, as Allonzo, he really shines as the ultimate Bad Lieutenant, making corruption, drug abuse and violence all part of his daily cop routine.

What I like even more about this movie is the fact that instead of filming loads of storylines and events, they took a few and portrayed them well.
