This is a trippy, complicated, but ultimately, pleasing action effort for thinking fans. A kick ass script, on-the-mark direction and another outstanding performance by Denzel lift this film above the level of most action movies. Don’t let a slow, clichéd opening fool you. This one picks up speed fast and veers off onto a movie road that is anything but cliché.
Denzel Washington is ATF agent Doug Carlin who sets out to solve a terrorist attack and in doing so comes across a group of egg headed techno geeks with the coolest technology that you have never heard of, being lead by FBI agent, Andrew Pryzwarra played by Val Kilmer. The technology opens up mind-bending possibilities that will have your mouth dropping open and your eyes glazing over. You might have started nodding off if the high-octane action didn’t quickly start coming at you fast and furious from every direction in space and time.
This is a very good action movie that will have you wondering and discussing after. It received a mixed reception upon release, but despite a slow opening, could have been better, and logic flaws with the ending, this is a very good action movie and if I could go back in time, I would still see it.
