The only logical explanation of how they found Luigi Mangione.

Movies where Denzel Washington plays a dude that is better at his job than those around him gotta be my favorite genre.

Car chase scene in this is absolutely bonkers, how do people not talk about it.

Det er lang tid siden jeg har set en film hvor jeg har været sådan ‘wow’ over handlingen, men den her havde virkelig et plot twist der overraskede mig

Thank God I watched Loki, that way the whole concept of different timelines wasn't that foreign to me 😅

Amazing sci-fi/ time travel movie. Denzel just oozing charisma all over the place.

Well, thank you @jmurph_ for giving me the tip on this one. Been going through a little accidental Denzel Washington marathon recently and honestly it’s left me with a lot of relief

I loved his performance in Malcolm X a couple months ago, so every time I booted up another Denzel movie I was genuinely nervous it wouldn’t live up to the standard I had built in my head.
Thankfully this absolutely did.

Tony Scott and Denzel really were a match made in heaven during the 2000’s because this is another hit for me. Tony Scott is one of the few directors where I completely understand why he didn’t write most of his own movies, because his true art comes from the direction itself. He knows exactly how to pull emotion and intensity out of a scene through movement, editing and atmosphere.

Honestly, the camerawork in Tony Scott movies is completely one of a kind and it’s especially obvious during that car chase sequence. Seriously, why is that scene not talked about more? The way it blends chaos, tension and confusion together while still being perfectly understandable is incredible.

Denzel Washington - Doug Carlin
Once again… he does it once again
As usual Denzel brings his natural charisma into the role, but it feels very different here compared to a lot of his other performances I’ve seen recently. Usually he has this cold, intimidating charm to him but here there’s a warmth to Doug Carlin that makes him feel incredibly human.

He portrays grief in a really interesting way too.
Instead of turning the character completely cold and emotionally dead, he mixes that grief with humor and awkwardness, almost like Doug constantly jokes around to cope with the things he’s been and going through.

I also think it’s really impressive how well the movie manages to build the romantic connection between Doug and Claire. Most of their relationship is literally formed through a screen and surveillance footage, yet you still completely buy into it emotionally.
That’s part of the warm feeling I was talking about. You genuinely want things to work out for Doug because the movie makes you emotionally attached to his hope.
Originality

I actually think this is an incredibly original script.
What makes it work so well is that it combines several very familiar genres and ideas, then slowly merges them together into something that feels completely unique. At first it feels like a detective thriller, then it slowly transforms into a full on sci-fi mystery before eventually exploding into a high octane action movie during the final act.
And somehow all those tonal shifts actually work.

The movie constantly keeps you wondering whether fate can actually be changed or if destiny is already set in stone. Every discovery Doug makes feels exciting because the movie slowly reveals its rules piece by piece instead of immediately dumping everything onto the viewer.

Final takeaway
Yeah this one is a bit shorter than my previous reviews, mostly because I still have like four more movies to review tonight

But honestly, this movie completely surprised me. It’s stylish, emotional, creative and genuinely thrilling all the way through. Tony Scott’s direction is absolutely electric and Denzel once again proves why he’s one of the greatest actors ever.
The mix between detective mystery, sci-fi and emotional drama should honestly not work as well as it does, but somehow this movie balances all of it perfectly.

And… this might genuinely contain one of the most underrated car chase scenes I’ve ever seen.
