Considering just how bad I thought this was going to be, I was genuinely pleased and surprised by the ease with which this went down. All praise goes to Denzel – he can sell anything and he is the anchor to this ridiculous film. The look is slick – slick to the point of ridiculousness – but fun nonetheless. Keep the original classic out of your mind and you might have a good time.
