Boring evening

Rating: 3/10 (3 February 2002)

This *sounds* like an interesting movie - rookie cop joins an old (cynical) pro for a day - but don't be fooled - it's just plain silly. Which is a shame because it has some interesting themes (police corruption, ends-justifies-the-means argument etc.) but these are never developed. Instead you get a ridiculous, over the top, shoot-em-up. And some huge holes in the plot. I gave it 3/10 - four points for Denzel Washington's performance (the best thing about this film) and one point off for insulting your intelligence. Avoid.
