The movie in itself lacks tempo, the script could've been made a little tighter probably.
But Denzel has never been better IMO. Too bad he's this good in a not so very good movie, it kinda takes away from his performance.
And Crowe is awesome as usual.
If you got the DVD, look at a few scenes with Denzel again, and I think you will agree that his acting is absolutely brilliant.
Using small gestures, but still getting through.
Very impressive IMO.
