Good review, and y'know, if it weren't Russell Crow, I probably wouldn't think much about 'the cop.' But it was important for it to be someone like him, considering how it ends.

[kingcanti]

It is a dumb name. lol

[TheConciseStatement]

Kevin Costello - that's a great goddamn name.

[Cos8712]

I agree with you.

[SavageSilencer]

It's just a good movie, & Denzels job. Don't damnwell whine about it. Oh and the funny thing is the movies DOESN"T glorify gangsters, at all. Have you even seen it?!

[Harmon1981]

You can or have to expect a good movies with actors like Rusell Crowe an Denzel Washington.

But maybe its too long.

Stop gloriying gangsters. It hurts the everyday working person. People see us as people whose morals have gone to hell. In Atlanta the jobs have moved out of the areas where the majority of blacks live. There are 3 hrs commutes to good paying jobs. Schools do not have quality teachers and the gangs walk the streets in black surburbs. I bet every gang person saw this. Denzel does not have gang memebers walking the streets where he lives. Denzel I am dissappointed in you.

[JayJayLeigh]

You guys are awesome. The end.

This is a great review; a great mix of talking about acting performances with humor. (And what's up with getting my hopes up about Denzel Washington hitting people over the head with a piano and then dashing my hopes!) You two play off of eachother really well and that comes through in your review. You also made me want to see the movie, in the way that you talked about the strong points without giving away the point of the movie. Seriously great.
