This is one of those crime movies that you may be keen to write off early simply because of the lackluster beginning. I urge you to keep with it and pay attention. Denzel’s movies almost always have a theme and this one really drives it home in the end. Mistakes. We are all fallible and we all make them, sometimes even with the most honorable of intentions. How we live with them and navigate (or manipulate) the consequences is the meat of the story here. It reminded me a lot of The Pledge with Nicholson. Malik and Leto did a good job but Denzel was GOLD. He is getting to that point in his acting career where his body language and expressions are now intrinsically part and parcel of EVERY character he plays, kind of like Wayne, Newman or Bogart. Amazing. 5/5
