as a sea warrior submitted by lekendrick on September 19, 2010, 11:20am the use use man of war appreciated! Released shortly prior to an election marking a see change paced with times bit suspense foreshadowing as well reaches for ornament! It's not a waste, but hollow for course melancholy, begs obvious question of if given everything of self? Personal advisory very least! Dealing type of people who'll quite literally leave in a bath tub of ice as urban myth tells, many things decorate this feature, but for several reasons it rises to level film sadness in the due notation rarely have people of color filled the screen so long lacking tone racial! Still dealing social issues, however in assemblage whole not one sided? There is the addressing issue by more palatable symbolic means, some wishing unknowingly stocked! As Woody Harrelson in a role not so much supporting, but objectified! Sequences typical to suspense genre deployed & borrowed from black and white noirish to mute stock dialog, it's perhaps most interesting the study of mania completely out of bounds what will really motivate bargain, love be it gained, lost, or sought!

Hidden gem submitted by garotagretta on June 18, 2015, 1:36pm The critics panned this film, largely it seems because the story was not believable. That wasn't the point. This was more like a tone poem, so moving and so poignant. Will Smith does a stellar job in this role and manages to communicate a degree of pathos usually reserved for those films called artsy. It is touching, beautiful and sad all at the same time.
