    Phenomenal movie. Amazing that it was produced prior to 9-11. The issues of racism, violation of civil rights, interrogation techniques, etc are topics that came to the forefront after this movie's release.
  • The warning we didn't want to see

    Just watched this movie. It was painful seeing the WTC in the background. Surprising relevance to events in New York 2 years after. Although some at the time said that this movie was implausible it could have gone this way if more events happened.

    Denzel does a superb job as NY FBI SAC Anthony Hubbard. He's tough, driven, and fair. He balances perfectly the need to be an aggressive counter-terrorism agent and a by-the-book supervisor. Excellent casting opposite Bruce Willis who himself does a great job as a somewhat reluctant Army general thrust into a situation that he believes necessitates extreme measures to meet the extreme issues.
  • Too preachy

    Hollywood should just make good stories and quit with the heavy-handed politics.

    THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES I HAVE EVER SEEN AND I HAVE SEEN MANY MOVIES. NON-STOP ACTION. I LIVE IN BROOKLYN SO IT WAS KINDA CRAZY TO SEE THESE EVENTS TAKING PLACE THERE. THE ACTING WAS GREAT BY EVERYBODY AND JUST GENIOUS. I LOVED IT EVEN UNTIL THE END WHICH HAS AN ENDING THAT YOU WOULD NEVER EXPECT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS ONE OF THE MOST ENJOYABLY MOVIES I HAVE EVER WATCHED.
