a great story, great screenplay, and denzel washington deserves the academy award he got for this picture. ethan hawke is also great as new rookie narcotics cop under sergeant alonzo harris. both perform life changing acting appearances. great party by gang member smiley played by cliff curtis. this actor is really great, in the role as smiley..he adds color and tremendous ability to the part. the whole picture is a ten and deserves watching. and watch with feeling, you have to get into the whole picture from beginning to end to really enjoy. a real thriller with ebbs and tides of emotional roller-coaster give by outstanding class one performances. puts denzel with denero,pacino, Hoffman and brando.. denzel washington is outstanding and his portrayal is spiritual in nature.
