This is a good role for Washington and is one of his best films to date. He gives his character a kind of swaggered that makes the movie that much more enjoyable. What may be the best thing about the film is its supporting cast. Sizemore is exceptionally good. The movie�s most intriguing character is Mouse (Don Cheadle), who is Washington�s long time friend and muscle. Whenever he shows up, everything good about the film increases.
