There's great temptation to chalk this up as a waste of some fine actors. Certainly, the movie suffers from an all-too-familiar ailment: a director who's way too in love with himself to pull back from the visual shenanigans. Then again, there is a lot of visceral pleasure in watching Denzel's washed up badass violently go to town on the meanies. If you're in an angry mood, you might find this appealing.

Don Juan Demarco
Johnny Depp having fun; Marlon Brando showing he can still act (if not move). A cute movie, probably good for a date (not that I'd know.)
