And I thought this movie was great because it showed New Orleans well. There were no fake Southern accents, the scenes of New Orleans were for the most part truthfully represented (only a discerning New Orleanian would catch the oddities anyway)and since it was filmed in post-Katrina New Orleans, I loved the scene of the police breaking into the Ninth Ward home - the house in the middle of the street, because that is how we are living. The plot required much suspension of belief, but Denzel and Paula are both beautiful to watch, and the opening sequence was filmed beautifully.
