    Denzel is stupendous

    by redyeah

    Denzel Washington shows his entire arsenal in this spectacular high octane action flick. His love for Dakota Fanning's character is subtle, but is clearly visible. After he decides to get revenge however, all bets are off. The action is explosive (quite literally) and intense. Incredibly acting the whole way and well worth the running time.
