I agree. I thought the movie was great entertainment and I would recommend it but I wanted The Godfather or Goodfellas. I don't think this is unrealistic as the potential was there but "that moment" never surfaced. The closest we saw was when Denzel stated "they tried to kill MY WIFE!!!". One brief line of intensity and passion that was never matched anywhere else in the film.

The writing is strictly straight to DVD but the actors, director and budget make it a theatrical release. Actually I'm surprised I enjoyed it as much as I did since my expectations based on the trailers were through through roof. I guess the fact that some posters in this forum viewed the leaked release and gave moderate reviews helped.

Too bad. This could have been epic.
