Editorial Reviews

OscarÂ(r) winner* Denzel Washington is "amazing" (Village View) as a decorated veteran who hangs up his guns for civilian life only to discover that his return home will force him intoan unexpected call to arms. Full of "gritty realism" (Los Angeles Times), this "impressive picture" (Variety) is a "well-made thriller, with an ending that is as unnerving as it is believable" (Village View)! When war hero Reuben James (Washington) returns home, he is shocked to find his neighborhood besieged by crime, drugs and police corruption. Feeling betrayed byhis country and frustrated by the lack of work, Reuben becomes an emotional time bomb ready to explode. And when his best friend is brutally murdered, this once dutiful soldier turns into a mercilessvigilante hellbent on change at any cost! *2001: Actor, Training Day; 1989: Supporting Actor, Glory

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Movie but an Unfortunate Edit, August 8, 2004

This review is from: For Queen and Country (DVD)

I originally saw this movie about 8 years ago on late night cable. I was flipping channels when I saw Denzel and began to watch this movie. I thought it was a good movie and then in a love scene Denzel (before he was a huge star) was naked. That in my opinion made the movie go from good to GREAT!! When I saw that the movie had been released on DVD I bought it immediately only to get it home and find that they edited the nude scene from the DVD. I was very dissapointed which is why I gave the movie 4 stars instead of 5. The plus side is that Denzel does have a pretty good British accent and that his acting is so good that he makes the character believable. A god choice for avid Denzel collectors.

If you appreciate Denzel's greatness as an actor, you should enjoy this film as I did. It's old, but it's a good story with great acting. It's also neat to see a young Denzel that I never knew existed. He was just as talented in this early film, as he has been in all of his films. Worth getting a copy for the collection...

This review is from: For Queen and Country (DVD)

It was delivered on time for Christmas, which I was afraid it wasn't going to be because I purchased it the week of Christmas. However, the DVD was moving around in the case before I opened it. I don't know if it was during shipment or what, but at some point the part that clicks the DVD into place had broken. Thankfully, it was not scratched. No complaint's because I'm sure it wasn't intentionally done.
