One of Washington's earlier performance, back when he obviously still had to resort to showing off his body and looks for the role. Not quite the standard of film we expect from the now popular Actor, but you can certainly see the beginnings of the Actor he has become today.

A giant load of cliche crap.
Although Lithgow strapping on phone books with duct tape to engage in some sort of prison version of a duel was pretty inspired.
Oh Russel Mulcahy what happened to you post Highlander & Razorback?
Fantastic, over the top revenge thriller, this is bloody, violent and creative in its slayings, and the busy plot of betrayal and blackmail is relentless in its pace.

Once I started using Flixster I tried to remember the name of this movie. "What was the name again? It had the most senseless frame-up job in history. It had that horrible climax. It had some of the worst lines of dialogue these ears have heard." Finally, I remember the name... read more
Good film, great performance by Denzel Washington as usual and a great performance by John Lithgow. Ice-T was cool as well.
John Lithgow does Psychopath so well in this Movie, that he even Out Acts the always perfect Denzel Washington & is the Evil Heart of this Movie.I think he reprised this Role for the Series Dexter
Another guilty pleasure. I totally loose it every time I see John Lithgow strapping phone books on himself to engage in a gladitorial brawl in prison.
The screenplay, by Steven E. de Souza, contains many glib, obscene wisecracks, plus the misinformation that Anna Karenina was Tolstoy's first book. Full Review
As with other Silver-smithed projects, this one is almost frighteningly competent at bashing heads and pushing all the right buttons. Full Review
Mulcahy's slasher-thriller manages to be as entertaining as it is improbable and violent. Full Review
After a potent start this fizzles with a stupid ending, but John Lithgow's Earl Talbot Blake is one of the most sinister, most vicious, most unforgettable movie villains ever.
Every now and then a movie comes along that is so preposterous, so devoid of any reality or logic, you have to wonder how it got made. Full Review
Sick, sick, sick, sick, sick. And what's not sick is out-and-out preposterous. Full Review
Solid thriller. Lithgow is a great villain with real power over the hero. Lots of tension.
Spectacular, violent and wildly excessive urban actioner that may not be taking itself quite as seriously as first appears. Full Review
