Ratings and reviews

Fantastic loved it. Great acting, plot, somewhat unbelievable in places but none the worse for that. Denzel is on perfect form as usual cannot fault him, he's always flawless.

Loved everything about this movie. The premise, the acting and the pace. One of the all time greats in my opinion. Just wish I could find an equally engrossing and excellent film now!!!

Not bad in its own right, but to me the original is better. That said good entertaining flick!
