Title: Oh, come on!!
Review: First, let me say that Denzel Washington puts in a good performance. It's not an academy award performace, but it's good. And it's not his fault. The character is written to be a one dimensional thug, and that's Denzel plays. He's the typical bent cop that turns up in movie after movie. Ethan Hawke's character is a far more challenging role, and he also plays him well.The real problem with the movie is the ludicrous plot. The movie consists of one ridiculous and incredible scene after another. You'll find yourself muttering "oh, come on!" time and again, especially toward the end of the movie when the story dispenses with what little credibility it ever had to begin with....
