Over the top, all the way around

Rating: 6/10 (27 March 2002)

Greetings again from the darkness. Not much to say about this except it is not much fun to watch from any perspective. Everything is over the top ... the acting, the directing, the story, the music. It is nice to see Mr. Prima Donna, Denzel, in a bad guy role, but I would much rather see him play a smart/cool bad guy than this loose cannon who would have been shot much earlier in his police career. Ethan Hawke flops through his role like a fish out of water, and what is the deal with the "3 wise men"? Looked to be some type of X-files rip off. Anyway, just a waste of time.
