Kelly Reilly's character was underdeveloped and completely superfluous to the plot.
I would like to have seen more of Don Cheadle and his work to keep Denzel out of prison. The situation with the toxicology report deserved more attention.
In fairness, this is still one of Denzel's finest performances and I'll be shocked if it doesn't net him his third Oscar. |
Ah ok...didn't see this initially. Yea, I would have liked to have seen more debate about his high functioning alcoholic behavior. Would he haved been able to make that move sober or not? The movie hints that he was only able to perform the maneuver and save lives because he was drunk. That's an interesting debate.
