Title: Wake me up when it's over
Review: I'm very pleased that I only RENTED this movie. Why this was worth an Oscar is a mystery to me. As the DVD doesn't contain any "extras" disregarding the usual trailers stuff, this really isn't a Collectors DVD.The movie never gets around to a motive for the actions. There is ths good guy and this bad guys. The good guy could have gone away from the bad guy many times before the action really starts. But why the good guy stays around the bad guy seems a real mystery. Why the bad guy is a bad guy is obviously not interesting as we never even get a hint why someone becomes corrupt and crazy as Denzel plays.The actors are fine (not great) - I have a problem with the story line. It's clear that lots and lots of background scenes have been cut out leaving you with an empty feeling and not really enganged in the movie as it runs.If you don't believe me - rent it first - it's not worth owning.
