"Who doesn't love Denzel?"--- Angel. But seriously, this is a hard watch but very good. In general I find stories about good people pushed to the limit of doing something bad to be an interesting exposure of society. I don't condone taking hostages but at the same time... I wouldn’t convict on the jury especially when the hostages were on his side and understood the situation for what it was. I think this is Denzel's most underrated movies.
