An average movie

A movie starring Russell Crowe and Denzel Washington should be worth a look, right? No, I'm not talking about 'American Gangster' which was definitely a pretty good flick, I'm talking about that other movie they made together more than 10 years before. Back then, Russell Crowe didn't breakthrough yet and it will take him 2 more years, thanks to 'L.A. Confidential', to become a household name. Anyway, it is jsut some pretty average stuff here. Indeed, they tried to mix some Science-Fiction with some action stuff but the end-result was pretty disappointing. Denzel Washington delivers his usual performance and was allright but not really interesting and Russell Crowe was actually not bad at all as the bad guy and it would be interesting to see him play such a part in a better movie. In my opinion, the important thing when you are dealing with SF is that even though you may use your fantasy, it still has to make sense somehow. Unfortunately, this time, the whole thing was pretty idiotic and rather laughable. Without Russell Crowe, I'm afraid it would have been even worse. To conclude, even though it was nice to see those guys together, it still remains a very average flick and it is not really worth a look, I'm afraid.
