Denzel deserved the Oscar so much!!!

Rating: 10/10 (28 August 2002)

Wow, what an amazing and outstanding movie! I was really looking forward to seeing it since Denzel Washington is absolutely one of my very favorite actors ever! His performance in this one was flawless and really amazing. People just don't know him in such a role and he totally convinced as the bad guy. Denzel found his match in Ethan Hawke, he also gave a stunning performance. It's not only the acting that raises this movie so far above average. The director did an outstanding job in creating a very real atmosphere. The story and script were very realistic and definitely not softened for the audience. It's a really fantastic movie, don't miss it!! 10/10
