Title: Confused and Trite
Review: I like Denzel a lot, but I wish he would recognize a poor script and pass it by. This movie starts with a great opening scene and then steadily descends into a confused tangle of hopeless science fiction and comical references to the "Einstein-Rosen Bridge." Overly melodramatic and entirely predictable, the story is saved by the always convincing work of Jim Caviezel as the villian. On the other hand, Washington's acting is unfortunately stereotypical. He really needs to get a new persona - it's no fun to see him adopt the same sly, intense, smirking image that we have seen so many times. Maybe Clint could do it and we loved it, but DW? I don't think so. Ultimately this flick succumbs to its convoluted plot and instead of a gripping movie full of surprises we get a dismal bit of sci-fi confusion.
