implied. What makes this film differentis it is not over the top.
It is painfully real and drives thisstory. Our next two clips are examples

him from the inside. So let'sgo down down to the station. You
(15:46):
talk to my guys stand and thenwe'll walk key through. What you gotta
say to the da guys. Okay. This film has many great performances and
(16:08):
cameos from the aforementioned Hawk, TomBarringer, Doctor Dre Macy, Gray,
Snoop Dogg, and Eva Mendez.But no mistake, the performance that is
not just the top in this film, but one of the greatest ever is
that of Washington. In our finalclip. The unraveling of Alonso is complete
(16:36):
when men that Alonso allows to illegallyoperate in a local neighborhood do not take
Jake out when he commands them too. He loses all control and gives a
speech that many, my self included, feel is one of the most memorable
in cinema history. Oh you mother, okay, all right, I'm putting
(17:03):
cases on all you. Huh.You think you can do this, Jane,
You think you can do this tome? Your mothers will be playing
basketball and Pelican Bay when I getfinished with you. Shoot program twenty three
hour Lockdown. I'm the man upin this. You'll never see the light
(17:29):
of dude, though you think youI'm the police. I rush you just
lift it. Yeah, that's wack. You better walk away. Gonna walk
away because I'm gonna burn this down. King Kong ain't got on me.
This film marked a major turning pointfor Washington. As I stated before,
(17:55):
it proved he could play the villainand do it well. It gave him
an added dynamic to his already aweinspiring range, So much so he has
went on to play other unscrupulous individualsin other films. While they are great
performances, they do not match theverocity and powerhouse performance he gives in this
(18:19):
film. This film was a hit. It was the second highest October opening
in cinema history, at twenty fourpoint two million its opening weekend. The
only reason it opened in October isfollowing the September eleven attacks, the film
was delayed by a month. Itfinished with one hundred and four point nine
(18:41):
million gross worldwide. It was nominatedfor two Academy Awards, Best Supporting Actor
for Hawk and Best Actor for DenzelWashington. Rightfully and Deservingly Washington one for
Best Actor. It has spawned asince canceled television series, and a prequel
(19:06):
of the film is currently in production. It is timeless and its realness,
rawness and unabashed power. I wouldrecommend this film to anyone, no matter
what films they like. With myhighest recommendation, I hope you will join
me next week when we will lookup to the sky and answer is it
(19:30):
a bird? Is it a playing? Well? Maybe, but one thing
is for sure. It is thefirst comic book film blockbuster. We will
look at Christopher Reeves in the nineteenseventy eight film Superman the movie for WMNH
and Matt Connerton unleashed. This hasbeen a classic film review with Derik Pilcher.
