Okay. Nothing special though.

Rating: 7/10 (20 June 2004)

(Spoilers!!)

I did like Ethan Hawke's performance. It was quite good.
I guess Denzel was okay. Not one of his best performances, bit above average though.
The story was rather thin. Sure it was complicated with alot of mush. It did keep me pretty interested. But at many times it was like yawn. But I finish movies normally and this movie wasn't that bad.

The ending was dumb. I kinda liked the alternate ending shown on the dvd. But I'm not sure how well they could fix the russian link. the russian link was probably the silliest part.
Now it's really weird seeing this other actor (the one that tries to kill Ethan until he finds out Ethan's a good guy. as in if it weren't for him, his cousin woulda been raped) but I watched two movies last night. This one and Three Kings. Had I known the actor before I watched Whale Rider it mighta been interesting. And I think he's best acting job is in Whale Rider.
Oh well, I'm not gonna attack this movie. But I just didn't find it that interesting.
7/10
