Maybe Denzel's Oscar was for his numerous OTHER inspired performances that he didn't win for.  Maybe he got the award for saying f*ck the most times in an hour and a half?  This movie, besides having dozens of reality flaws, is about as cliched as it gets.  Denzel is not only a crooked cop, he's about the crookedest cop you can imagine.  Unfortunately, the gangish image he's trying to pull off doesn't work because he's waaaay too handsome AND articulate.

And Ethan Hawke for Best-Supporting Actor?  Please.

Rent it just for fun, but don't expect to see anything remotely award-winning about Denzel's (or Ethan's) performance.  I won't reveal the ending - think Sonny Corleone at the tollbooth.

I have not seen the movie because it did not appeal to me.

Anyway, I can only assume that if he did not get the award based on his past performances, then it might be for his versatility since this is quite a different role.

I think Denzel a GREAT actor.

This movie is on my ALL time piece of crap list.

The academy went for the double race wammy and that is that.

Equality is nigh. Peach colored folk have gotten awarded for bad movies to!
