That broken link of mine looks stupid (I took it from Slant--it's all Dr. Morbius's fault), so here's a different one:

Agree with everything about MBB in previous post. The film resolves itself in this long, Raging Bull-style home movie to "A Love Supreme"; love that section. Along with Denzel and Snipes, Giancarlo Esposito's quite good too. Sam Jackson plays "Madlock"...I have no recollection of this character whatsoever.

Could be. As long as he says "motherfucker" four or five times, I'm sure he's as great as ever.

Safe House has grossed $126 M domestically, how the fuck did that happen?

John Creasy deserves more consideration. Denzel tearing around Tony Scott-imagined Mexico City favelas in an Akademiks warmup jacket. Pretty darn entertaining.

Well-meaning, I suppose, but John Q just gets more and more ludicrous as it goes along. By the time Denzel left all his hostages unattended in a different room so he could have a heart-to-heart with his son, I was watching in a kind of trance.
