  • Good idea and morals, but...

    Denzel Washington is an amazing actor but does not deliver here, due to the movie trying to fit too many good ideas into one film and failing. It is remarkable for having been shot before 9/11 and anticipating much of the terror and counter terrorism problems we have seen over the last years, the fear, loss of freedom and division of eastern and western culture. Impressive from this point of view and a strong voice for human rights. From a cinematic point of view it has a random storyline, poor characters and acting. Watch it for the morals, not for good cinema!
