Excellent cop flick

Rating: Null/10 (10 March 2002)

It was real refreshing watching Denzel Washington in a different part, and he did a great job in the movie along with Ethan Hawke. It starts off slow, building up the characters in a nice way, but suddenly turns into being a suspenseful thriller. While not being 100% realistic the movie does create a universe we are led to believe in. There's is a surprisingly small amount of stupid Hollywood action or romantic scenes etc., making it more realistic. It's an entertaining, but different and raw movie, which I hope director Antoine Fuqua keeps on making.
8 out of 10
