I thought Denzel's acting was OK ... but the guy who played the Presidential candidate stole the show.
Good movie.

All politicians’ care about big business they have to but at least Bush and Cheney have been in business.

Whoa...
Did you see the movie ?????
I'm a pretty smart fella, and I sure didn't take that notion out of the theater with me.
It was a purely fictional film.
And many of the conspirators in the film were liberals and socialists from other countries.
*** In fact, I believe that the leading conspirator was a female senator from New York who very closely resembled Hillary Clinton ... ***

Yes I did but I confess I might have gone in with a preconceived bias. I had read several reviews that put that spin on it and many of the people in it backing it and directing it lean toward the leftist socialism crowd.
I also have a tendency right now to dis-trust anything coming out of the entertainment world be it music movies or books. They all seem to have an agenda be it from either side.
I thought the movie was good maybe better than the original and I really like Denzels acting skills. Well as much as any actor or actress can today which is by the standards of older stars very lacking.

You guys have got to be kidding !!! :confused:
All the old actors and actresses did was chain smoke and read cue cards...
They sucked !!!
Want to see a good performance ... Sean Penn in 'Mystic River'.
The modern day acting geniuses blow away the old chain-smoker generation.

the words "acting" and "genius" can never appear together ... for an example .. johhny depp, or susan sarandon ... both hate the US so much ... they should be asked to leave

I just rented mistic river. Sean Penn may act pretty well, for a communist, but the movie was awful. Clint Eastwood has ruined me with junk like this, or Unforgiven. The story in Mystic River was very good, but the film was not good. Too slow, too akward, too many Hollywood stereotypes of blue collar people.
I did really like Sean Penn in The Thin Red Line. The man can act, and he bagged Madonna!
