This movie is a remake of the old '60s classic of the same name, and same story.
The plot is set in real-time so to speak, over a period of 90 minutes; the film length also being the same.
Unfortunately, I did not find it that gripping and realistic. The tension was not high, and Denzel Washington was not used to his full capacity - one of my favorite actors, in not the best role he has done. John Travolta was a waste of time, sporting a wierd hair-do and beard. I think he should quit films and concentrate on flying planes.
On the whole then, a very disappointing movie; I was glad to see the credits roll at the end! I am told though, that the original was "superb."
