Denzel never fails to "give the people what they paid for" and much more. The religious storyline is very thought provoking and engaged me to the point where I was reciting the bible right along with Denzel and thinking about what the author meant. The powerful peformances and storyline is a testament that Hollywood can make a "religious" movie that appeals to the masses no matter what race, creed, color or religion you are--you will question yourself about your own purpose for being here on earth and the movie will stay in your thoughts long after viewing it.
