Negative Positive
Title: dull
Review: Tediously written and dialogue heavy. It would have been better as a play than a movie, with so much dialogue. And Ethan Hawke is really miscast...he's frail and pale and totally unbelievable as an L.A.P.D. cop. Denzel Washington's performance is contrived. He's not believable as a hard manipulator. I know he won the Oscar. But I still think his performance falls short.
