ummm, denzel becomes whoever the hell he's supposed to become. a slave to a renegade cop to high school football coach to small town police chief to low budget private eye, etc etc. can't be so similar to the one person. he's as versatile as they've come. and i'm NOT shitting on will, he's a very good actor too, just saying whoever says denzel does what will is accused of is full of it.

so the movie made you creamy that's great. and you wanna stand on top a mountaintop and scream it to all, that's great. there's no need to shit on everyone's reasons for not liking it. it's called SUBJECTIVE.
over-achieved? that all depends on your expectations, which is different in each person. it was an enjoyable action flick but not a movie i'd ever particularly care or feel the need to see again. the underlying themes weren't lost on me but didn't have me leave the theater thinking about it. perhaps if i'd read asimov's novel i'd have viewed it differently but oh well, it's all MY OPINION.

now come and tell me how stupid i am for not agreeing with everything you said.
