This movie is just tight.

Rating: Null/10 (5 November 2001)

Denzel Washington is just flat out impressive in this movie. If I'm correct, this is the first time he has truly acted out an evil character. And what a job he does. Playing a very convincing role in a movie that goes a bit over the top, he is able to pull it off in style. Ethan Hawke plays the inexperienced rookie, and he plays his part well. Even though this movie goes a bit to the extreme, it kind of lets you know where it is going. And takes you along for the ride...with help from Washington no less.
