Anyone seen it and what's it like?
Sounds good from IMDB reviews but I don't want to spend big bucks seeing it if it's not so good.

Thanks in advance peeps!

3/10

Very boring action film.

CZAR · 01-26-2010, 06:50 PM

Great film! Must see! Got Em!!

iambof · 01-26-2010, 06:51 PM

Wow now I'm confused. Please explain why!

Foggy · 01-26-2010, 06:54 PM

Great entertainment, decent storyline, fantastic sactors, some really nice action scenes, and it's just a ton of fun, without being dumb, see if you can work out "the twist" before the end

The story is very dull and the ending is absolutely atrocious. The only good things were the cinematography and gary oldman

Please note that he loves everything Denzel does (which is fine, not knocking him). Just want you to be aware of that before making your decision.

Cmon man, why not qoute the people who dont like it as well. Dont try to flaw my opinion of the film. Trust me if a film is not good I will admit it as u should already know! And no I dont love every single Denzel film by the way. thanks for putting words in my mouth though. Got Em!!

Bishop_99 · 01-26-2010, 07:54 PM

It was a good film and you likely won't be disappointed in seeing it. The story goes a little deeper than your average film so there is more to it. There is a good balance of action and dialog. The atmosphere of the movie looks very good. The fights are brutal and violent. Denzel does a great job as well as Gary Oldman. There also is very good twist at the end of movie.

In all it is very good movie that is worth checking out.

masob98 · 01-26-2010, 07:54 PM

I enjoyed the movie thoroughly, cant wait for it to come out on blu. First day buy for me.

Sussudio · 01-26-2010, 07:54 PM

OP - I really don't think gathering several opinions will do much for you (but if it does, great

). Some people will like it, some will not, but in the end, I would suggest you watch the trailer and decide for yourself. I personally thought it was another abysmal action movie with decent performances (which Denzel Washington seems to be on a streak of putting out)....nothing special and nothing worth remembering. But I guarantee you someone else on here will come along and say the exact opposite...so....

Please tell me, I would love to know which Denzel films you dont like.

kpkelley · 01-26-2010, 08:00 PM

Right, stay home. You can go back to the theatres in March.

There are a few that werent all that. There isnt an actor in my eyes that every single film is great. These films below were ok but not all that:

He Got Game
The Manchurian Candidate
Deja Vu

Hows that? Got Em!!

Tell the truth Czar. If Denzel stood motionless and had no lines for 90 minutes you would say "It was the hella best film evah... EVAH!"

Be honest now.
