I gave this film a low score. Denzel Washington was astonishing! Dakota Fanning (the little girl Pita) gave an Oscar winning performance! The other characters in the movie were equally great. Simply great!
So why the low score? Paul Cameron's cinematography was horrible. No wait, horrible isn't bad enough. Putrid? Hmmm, maybe that's still not quite the right word.
How about mind-numbingly awful? Dreadful? Really really NOT GOOD?
Man, I just can't describe how bad it was. At time, I found myself purposely not watching the film and just listening to it instead so that I didn't have to watch Cameron's display of total lack of talent.
Cameron has done some good stuff before. I think that maybe he tried too hard to add some "artistic flair" to the movie or something.
But I do recommend seeing the movie. Rent it, don't buy it. It's very depressing and the ending is a bit stupid, but it's worth a watch.
