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.
