Could have used some judicious edits to tighten up the pacing. But otherwise an entertaining watch.
Denzel was just too cool when he was young.

Good movie, great actors, but the editing was so distractingly bad that it definitely made the movie have such a low quality feel compared to what it should have been.

“I am the sheep that got lost madre”
Yeah Tony Scott had the fucking sauce man. What a legend. There’s a dozen more lines that could possibly be the greatest lines ever uttered. Might be the best revenge story ever told but it’s so much more than that. Denzel does what he fucking does. The bond between Creasy and Pita is so endearing. To call this film visually stunning would be an understatement. The Blu-Ray hits like crack in the 80s. That 2000s hypnotic saturated flare is so damn electrifying. Insane editing. Unbelievable tension. It’s just too good. Absolute Cinema!
