TWO MOVIES - Only one of them is good.

Rating: Null/10 (12 July 2003)

There are two movies in one movie. In the first there is Denzel teaching Ethan how to be a cop: effective, tough and, if need be, merciless; whatever gets the job done. You may question his methods, but his motive is pure, stop the bad guys. After the last conversation in the car, you expect the movie to be over. And it should of been. Ethan would've told the D.A. what should've been said and then end-of-story.
Second movie - we get to see that Denzel is not only ruthless, but savage and murderous. He's even willing to give up his partner/trainee to murder. This movie, which at first was compelling and intense, now shifted gears so ferociously, so violently, so unexpectedly that it was impossible to want to watch anymore.
This second part was like watching a train wreck, and no matter how much you scream, the trains crash into each other. I wish I hadn't watched the second part. It shouldn't have been there. It wasn't right. And I WON'T watch it again!
While the acting is incredible, there are just some things best left unsaid, some scenes best left unfilmed and unwatched.
