I just saw this movie with Denzel Washington on DVD.
I must say i liked it quite a bit.

Loads of action ...

Takes place in Mexico City and topic is kidnappings.

Got 7.7 out of 10 on Imdb which is quite high.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0328107/

Btw i dont think i will be going to Mexico anytime soon

Yea, it's a remake.  Check out the original.  Luv Rhada Mitchell in the remake, though she's underused.  Sexy as hell she is!!

Scott Glenn played the original bodyguard in the 80s version.

Also well done, but the cinematography in the Denzel version was pretty cool and very captivating.

Yeah this movie was awesome, definitely one of my favorites. The ending always makes me angry when Denzel still has to give himself up to the bad guys.

Great movie!
 
DTher85 - Denzel gives himself up as he knows he's dying from the gun shot taken earlie at the Voice ex's place. I think this is why he closes is eyes in the car signaling his death.

Yes it also said so in the texts after the movie that he died.

Speaking of Denzel Washington, Spike Lee will direct a new Inside Man 2 movie.

Again with Denzel, this should be a good one.

I interpreted Denzel dying the same way.

 Great news about the sequel if true.

Great cinematography and soundtracks.  Really good action flick in my opinion.  Denzel is definitely one of the best around.

Deja Vu was another great Denzel Movie that no one talks about.

Deja Vu?  Are you kidding?  It's all a matter of tast, but Denzel was the wrong actor for that movie.  When he gets into the machine, he seemed completely awkard as an actor. Like Bogart, he just can't relax enought.  Boggie never could do a death scene.  Neither can Denzel.  Can't do passive.  Too physical.

Rhada's been cute since HIGH ART.  Now, with those Hollywood diets and gels, she's frickin' smokin'!.

I loved INSIDE MAN. Hope sequel's good.

I agree, but what always made me the most upset was that I do not think that neither the mother of the child or the child even understand fully at that time what Griese is doing for the little girl.  WTF does the mother think that Griese and those thugs are going to do have a glass of lemonaid and talk about good times.  Kinda made me a little upset, which is a weird emotion to have when a little girl is saved.

Really liked this movie. Keep meaning to see the original.
 
I served Scott Glenn dinner once. He was kind of a dick.
