Awesome cop thriller

Rating: Null/10 (19 April 2002)

I truly must say that this film is one of the most exciting action thrillers I've seen in quite some time. It was so very well written, directed and acted and keeps a tight grip on your interest from beginning to end. I think that Denzel Washington won a very well deserved Best Actor Oscar for his role as the villainous narcotics officer and Ethan Hawke did an equally splendid job as the rookie cop that works with him. Watching this film is two hours very well spent.
