	~~Original Thread~~ Edit: Scratch that. Hate it when there's only a link in the first post. This one is more informative. Reopened As far as the film, looks decent enough. Usually enjoy most of Denzel's work.

	Gah. Well I uploaded the 480p version. Only thing I don't like about up'ing HD videos is that they take even longer so that they can format it to streaming HD. Bah! Btw, didn't know there was another thread already. /: ------------------- I have a pet elephant.

	Not to mention it is just a modernized remake. Good to see Travolta's career kickstart again. ------------------- I have a pet elephant.

	I was just coming in here to say that. I agree with the above: in the poster at the top of the forum, Travolta looks dangerous. He does play good villains. ------------------- \|\|Last.fm\|\|Wrestling\|\|Oceania\|\|

	Might be good; can't help but think of this as a Swordfish ripoff though... ------------------- "I will remain quiet and will look on from my dwelling place"

	Well this is a re-make, so I think it's more of a rip-off from the...original. I was thrown off by the trailer though, because John Travolta wasn't wearing his "bad guy" toupee. The same one that Brendan Frazier rocks in like... all his movies. ------------------- I have a pet elephant.

	Remaking good films, Meh. I love the original movie so however good this is, it's still going to be as cheap knock off version in my eyes. -------------------

	This movie only just came out here in the UK last Friday. I went to go see it tonight...I enjoyed it a lot. The dialogue between Denzel and Travolta was pretty good. Travolta just about stole the show for me. His character was awesome. John Turturro was a great supporting role and James Gandolfini was great and provided a bit of comic relief. The only thing I didn't like about this movie was the ending. Just seemed too Hollywood really. I thought a better ending would have been... Spoiler: Spoiler The gun the cops sneak into one of the bags and highlight it for Denzel to use gets picked up by Travolta so Denzel doesn't end up getting the gun...Later on when Denzel chases him to the bridge...but Travolta slips away and escapes. Travolta tries to escape via an airport. A metal detector goes off because of the gun in the suitcase. Travolta busted and suicides right then and there...which relates back to the whole 'Fate' theme that Denzel and Travolta had earlier on in the movie..as Travolta just happens to pick up the only suitcase that can bust him Either way, I really enjoyed it until it got the ending. Fun movie. 8/10 ------------------- I'm sorry, Mr. President...I don't dance.
