I was too overwhelmed to elaborate yesterday.
Did you see how John Travolta acts crazzyyy, true performance right there; not to mention Denzel's choice of strong role model characters.
I've often wondered what makes a good movie - is it the director, the plot (screenwrighter), cinematography, score (music), actors...
In this movie, the acting stood out! But when I note that the director Tony Scott (Ridley Scott's younger brother) directed The Last Boy Scout, Crimson Tide, Enemy of the state, Dejavu... I'm convinced the Director needs to be given credit.
Surprising the movie was judged quite harshly in the US.
