I fell asleep the first time I watched this film. My apologies, Denzel. It's a slow moving plot with bleak coloring throughout. Hence, sleepy time. For my second viewing, I decided to start the film half way through and that was a brilliant idea since the movie starts to pick up about then. I won't give away the ending because you'll curse me if you haven't seen it yet. The surprise appearances of Ms. Flashdance herself, Jennifer Beals, and Tom Waits (who was also in the Outsiders - thank you IMDB) upped my actor-movie connector game knowledge once again. All thanks go to the Hughes Brothers for making this film and Denzel for producing it. 2 points to anyone who knows what other movie starred both Denzel and Flashdance girl...no IMDB cheating! Rating - If you like movies that feel like video games or if you like Denzel (and who doesn't), take a couple of hours to watch.
