This film is gritty powerful and leaves a very emotional punch coming away from it. Denzel and Russell have as much charisma and charm as they always do. When they are on screen together the power of these two titans can... Full review

How many times are they gonna try and remake Scarface, or the Godfather? Denzel does a good job in this movie, but some of his lines remind me of Training Day, which was much better anyway. The portrail of NY Cops... Full review
