    Washington never fails to deliver but Luke was hot and cold. The story just seemed very typical. Final scene was good though.

    An excellent psychological drama with great performances by Denzel Washington and the debuting Derek Luke, and great directing by Washington as well. This is a well written, gritty yet uplifting story about dealing with and overcoming one's past. Highly recommended.
