Modern classic

Rating: 10/10 (9 September 2011)

There are 2 scenes in this movie that will just always stay with you:
1- The bathtub scene 2- Alonso's "Kingkong" speech
The acting is superb. Denzel seems really comfortable in his role as bad cop and Ethan Hawke is the perfect casting for the insecure rookie that gets confronted with challenge and choice between good and bad every 10 minutes or so in the movie.
What I also find really well done is the fact that the entire movie takes place during one day and not more. It really adds to the tension and realism of it all.
Wonderful movie...anyone who likes action without too much special effects will love this movie.
