Action replaces a tangible plot...
The film works on the premise that there is a book which will help to save mankind and change it for the better. It is the only one in existence and one man protects it.
It would be interesting were it not for the unnecessary drama and gore that comes with it. It focuses more on action and suspense than a plot or scripting. The acting, at best, is mediocre and Denzel Washington doesn't seem right for the role.
