Negative Positive
Title: This is not entertainment,
Review: nor is it even enlightened social commentary.It's just another fantasy movie about a good guy (white rookie cop who lives in suburban LA - what was his last job? corporate CFO?) and a bad cop (black guy with Latino wife living in middle of gang infested jungle - I haven't been there, so can't comment). This movie is a downer from start to finish that left me wonder why I spent two hours with it.Denzel best actor? Not based on this film. The political tide of Hollywood finally turned his way. Sure, the character is scary and creepy, but he's ultimately just another Hollywood fantasy thug.I gave it two stars, because it at least inspired me to comment on the sad state of moviemaking these days.
Is the review positive or negative?
