Great screenplay by David Ayer.
Denzel Washington is awesome, great actor, Ethan Hawke is so underrated, a great talent with a great performance in this movie.
4.25/5
Good performances, especially Washington's powerhouse turn, help to conceal that the script is actually quite bad, with a stream of unlikely plot conveniences showing up in the final act.
I always liked most of Denzel's movies.... until this. I didn't like it the first time it came out back then and sorting through these old VHS boxes and rewatching them I still don't like it now. Very disappointing. Anytime I see a newer release that references Training Day I usually try and just ignore the movie. If they compare it to this it's generally not worth bothering with if they think this is a good movie to reference that it was directed by the same guy or produced or had the same cast, etc.
I just saw this movie and I also can't belive it is not in a top list. There are many movies in the lists that aren't this good. I don't know if it is one of my favorites yet but it certainly deserves more praise than it has gotten. Seems that after the awards season nobody mentioned it again.

exiting movie!asiangotrice
Ok film. I really don't see why Denzel gets so much praise for this role. He always plays a cocky male who knows how to give a smart response.makerluisao

Denzel acted like he was possessed by the devil himself. What a great movie.Showing items 1 – 15 of 19
