I read a lot of reviews that didn't like this movie, but I'm not sure why. Even if the story itself is semisilly, the characters are fascinating. I have to say I enjoyed this movie far more for the characters than for the actual mystery. I also discovered as I watched this movie that it was the second movie I'd watched in a week that involved Denzel Washington biting the antagonist. (The first was The Manchurian Candidate.) Odd, eh?
