-- A perfect Sunday afternoon vehicle. Denzel was as usual, there were both exciting and predictable moments, the women... well... and Dean Cain (Superman on TV) made a superb villain. A breakout role.A story: I chose the 2:15 matinee at Boston's best exhibition house, the AMC Fenway. Silly me, as I turned the corner I realized that it was Game 4 at Fenway Park, a mere four blocks distant. "Game Parking, $35" the signs said. Even at that, the lots were full. But with my clearheaded Silva training I was able to sniff out a legal, open street spot midway between the two temples. Hot damn!
I had already chosen, by the way, to pay the BoSox no attention, for that way leads to heartbreak.
So after the movie I had just reached my Jetta when this HUGE ROAR erupted from the Park, and simultaneously the crowds began spilling onto the street. Thus was I caught up in the revels and the drunken high spirits -- for a while. Then I imagined all those parking lots beginning to empty and I vamoosed.
What a day! Good movie too.
Follow Ups:
I was startled at the "reach every audience" casting that was used in the story: Denz getting divorced from a Mexican woman while having an affair with a black, old-flame, girlfriend who just happens to be married to a white guy! Wow! (This movie was UN sanctioned.)
Did you mean "Hispanic"? Got your PCs mixed up?Since the location is south Florida, I'd assume the wife was Cuban-American. Maybe.
The lead role wasn't originally written for an African American man, BTW, so Denzel was an interesting choice. He's a favorite of director Carl Franklin, who made Devil In A Blue Dress with him.
My favorite Franklin flick is still One False Move, although I enjoyed Out Of Time for a Sunday evening diversion.
kind of confusing--I presumed Mex-American incorrectly.
