This is a long way to go for a film that when it first came out they thought it was going to go straight to video... 10 films, a billion dollar franchise and it feels like there's the potential for even more.

It is emotional and gripping... about halfway through I started crying and I didn't even want to try to stop it because it was so powerful and so moving and yet, you were also getting this really strong history lesson as well.

It feels like a horror film; like you're watching Jason or Michael Myers, except Denzel is the boogeyman in this case... and that smile that he has at the very beginning, that's his mask.
