Denzel Washington as alcoholic bodyguard out for revenge. I thought it was quite good actually.

Always enjoy watching Christopher Walken.

Yea, I thought it was pretty good, not too keen on the 'arty' camera effects though :S

I enjoyed the film - not one of Denzel Washington's best, but a good story.

Too effing long and slow, with no real payoff for making you sit through it, despite the always watchable Walken and Denzel.

i watched it again last night ...and i think its a great revenge film i know its slow but thats called a story and the way denz "extracts" info from the "bad" men is class.
A deffinate plus was Dakota Fanning this was the first time i had heard or seen her on screen and i was very impressed, now probably more known in the role she played in "The War Of The Worlds" so a big star in the making there no doubt. I would like to read the book to which the film was based......but iam not sure that it was of the same title.
So if you aint seen the film yet its on sky movies (probably about 50 times this month <_< ) 8/10 from me on this one.
ps I know its old but i thought it deserves more IMO...

Ole Pita.
Yes, Dakota played nicely. She actually plays quite a lot (also in a SF series, can't remember the name, Taken maybe?).
