I had a lot of fun with this one. Watching Denzel's character slick-talk and scheme his way out of being caught was so tense and exciting, and Eva Mendes giving him those looks, noticing he's acting strange and moving differently while also being his soon-to-be ex-wife, makes the dynamic more interesting. Sanna Lathan is also very good at being mysterious and not knowing what she is after. Then you have John Billingsley playing comedic relief and the best friend/partner you can have to back you up. All this makes for a thrilling, underrated gem in Denzel's filmography.
