I saw it and really liked it. Denzel and Crowe are both great actors, and together they make it a movie worth seeing...

Agreed. MUCH better. " No Country for Old Men " is better than that.

Watched a few clips from Eastern Promises this afternoon. Looks good.

The female has her heart set on seeing Russell Crow tonight...so Gangsta it is.

I didn't have any paticular feelings about the ending. There's some ambiguity but probably not much.

There's another really good movie playing in NY right now if you're into indies called " Control. " It's about Ian Curtis and the English band Joy Division.

It was decent. Not quite as good as portrayed(most movies rarely are), but it was still enjoyable.
