Is there an actor today with a better track record than Russell Crowe? He just doesn’t make a bad movie!
This is probably a dumb question but how will the other 5 copies be awarded? /still hoping to win one of these contests some day
This was a great movie, good to see the DVD has such good extra features.
A one of a kind movie. Denzel is great.
I haven’t seen it yet just the trailers. I really look forward to seeing it. I like all of Denzel’s movies and Russel Crowe is no slouch either
Looks like it might be pretty good. Count me in.
this movie looks like it will be good
Denzel has another super performance in this movie
Russel and Denzel together awesome
this was a good movie!
I love it when Denzel plays a bad guy….yes he is a bad guy in this.
I’m a Denzel fan. Thanks for the contest.
Someday this will be a classic like Godfathers
I got a copy of this shortly after I posted upthread, and I got through maybe half of it and still haven’t finished it. Going to have to do that soon since it’s gotten such great reviews across the board.
