Really?
My first reaction stayed with me throughout. Denzel's character was blah! He acted like he hated the world and just did his job because he had to. He was overweight and sloppy. He acted like his life was one of existing, not living. He went to California because his boss made him. He met old friends, but seemed not to care. He was one sorry soul and a huge bore. I kept trying to figure out why anyone liked him at all!
Rami has never been a favorite of mine, and this movie didn't change my opinion. He starts off as a cocky guy who was SO upset that there was someone he didn't know on his turf, that he couldn't even continue his presentation and kept stopping just to stare at Denzel. Then, suddenly he seemed not only to accept him, but invite him into his investigation. All the while both characters showed no personality at all.
It got to the point where I just didn't care who the killer was. I just wanted the movie to end!
I'm glad others found redeeming qualities, because I found none. The best scene in the entire movie was the opening scene. It went down from there.
