Well worth seeing for any Russell Crowe fan

into movies that tell a great story, movie buff

Pros

Russell Crowe, Denzel Washington

Cons

A couple of subplots were unnecessary, left some of the story unfinished

NOV

2007

I thought it was a great movie for showcasing two great actors -- although I felt it was a little unfinished and would really have liked to have had more info on the story "after" the movie. I liked seeing how the two came together, but it seemed like they rushed through the end of the story when the two main characters were becoming friends and working together to clean up the narcotics division in NYC/NJ.
