I've just seen the movie again last night on TBS Superstation.
When I saw the movie for the first time, I thought it was a pretty good action movie. Naturally, on Sept 11, I first thought about Tom Clancy's Debt of Honor and then this movie. Last night, after Sept 11, the movie came out in a slightly different light. The dialogues were insightful, just like what everybody was talking about in this country after 9/11, especially regarding the balance between the need to find the terrorists quickly and "bend the law, shred the constitution a little bit". Denzel Washington was excellent. Tony Shalhoub and Annette Benning were great. Bruce Willis was being his regular self there. The scenes hit very close to home. The shot of the bombed FBI office bring memory of the twin towers. I would recommend this movie to whomever is interested in the war on terrorism we're in right now.
