By the time the movie is finished, I was so angry that I actually wanted the protagonist to go to prison. I could only root for him for so long. I also noticed Washington's constant chewing and found it almost as annoying as the horrible story.
Can't understand ANYONE rating this above a 2 star movie. Not a great movie. Not even believable.
Excellent movie,was really taking by surprise cause I did not have a clue of what it was all about and a Great lesson of life !Bravo! Denzel you are always so good!
A very intense and good movie. Denzel carries the film - he is one of the best
Great movie. The story was well done and the acting was great. I don't want to give anything away!
Excellent movie. Ya, it is about a guy with an alcohol problem - so what?? Great job by Denzel. One moment you love him (his character), the next you can't stand him. That's what makes him so effective. You people who walk out of movies 5 minutes into a 2-hour plus movie aren't giving it a chance.
There may have been a good story line in this movie but the smut far out weighed whatever good content there might have been. We watched about five minutes of the movie and turned it off. Shame on Hollywood. the movies should be entertaining isn't there enough violence and smut on the evening news
Awesome Movie !! Denzel such a hot hunk and is Oscar worthy !!
Very unlikeable protagonist. And I hated the way Denzel always seems to be chewing. He's not eating, but he's making a movement with his mouth like he's chewing. It was kind of disgusting.
without Denzel, this movie would have been boring - he makes an average script and movie look very, very good!!
