The movie rocked. Had I been a rookie I would have reacted the exact same way as Ethan Hawke did....in fact it felt almost as if I were in his shoes. I was scared shitless throughout the whole movie. Great performances. Worth the money.

academy awards reissue possible?
I wonder if b/c denzel won the award, whether they will replace the snapper case with an Awards reissue special edition or something?

I bought and watch last night. I really enjoyed it, and want to watch it again real soon.
I recall reading some reviews that critized the plausibility of it all. Certainly it's a bit extreme, but I bought into the whole story.
The only part I thought that was truly unbelievable was

Actually this is a steamy pile O' shite. Incredibly poor script, and Scott Glenn talkin all jiggy and S**T was hilarious (Unintentional).
This movie is attempting to be all docudrama and realistic and then Ethan says "it's all about smiles and cries and they can't take that away from you." HUH.
This film has no suspense, it telegraphs everything or explains it to you. Just plain awful. Denzel is OK here but in no shape or form is this an academy award winning performance.
Rent this one my brothers, for if you pay for it you will pay for it.

The cheeze in this movie was oozing out of Denzel's ears. Best Actor! Hello!

I just saw this DVD y'day and i thought the movie was good overall .But the ending sucked .
Ethan and denzel were perfect in their roles and camera and music were very good ,
DTS track would have rocked but i guess we need to wait for the Special edition soon .

Another issue I had was how did Denzel's car get un-smashed enough to drive? During the preceeding car crashing part, both the truck and hood and all four fenders were trashed. Yet later, it's perfectly driveable again? I know, minor point.
Still a great movie. Made me uncomfortable during the entire performance.
Being a cop I put myself in all the situations Ethan endured.
During the pot smoking scene, my wife turned and asked me what I would have done in that situation? I told her I would have walked out on Denzel in the Diner!

i dunno how to do spoilers, but when ethan is playing cards notice the one guy gets a IM on his cell phone.
So what are you saying? Denzel msged him and told them to?
