Denzel and most of the cast do a great acting job in this movie. If you are looking for mindless action flick, don't rent this - it's a very good psych. thriller though. Some parts are a little slow and predictable, but a good movie if you like this genre - I'd watch it again.

I thought the movie was very good. Story line was excellent. Bit choppy in parts, but overall worth watching. Denzel always performs well, and Meryl played the part very well.

Garbage Can Movie..................do not waste your time with this movie. Watch the original movie and stay away from this one. It's very slow and boring and unbelieveable, not my kind of movie.

While this movie had a good plot overall, it really wasn't the action thriller that I had hoped that it would be.

Even with all the stars in this film, it was not close to being as good as the original. At least the original made some sense. I had a hard time following the plot and even at the end did not know who was killing who and why. Good acting but a lame story plot.

As the story very slowly progressed I kept wondering what was the point of all of this. Even after finally being shown what was going on each step to the next revelation was done in slow motion. There were some surprise twists but getting to them took a bit of time. At least you were not left wondering, as in some movies, how the character and story got there. Each point was very fully developed.

This was a slow starting movie with a great team of actors. Meryl shows a different side which is so refreshing and wow what a soapbox she went on! Good movie.

This one was a real diappointment. It is the first Denzel movie that I haven't like. As alwaysl, he gives a wonderful performance. However, his performance cannot compensate for a truly bad script. It was boring and by the end I wasn't sure if I just didn't get it or if I had fallen asleep and missed some important part. In either case, I had hoped for so much more.
