good movie. denzel handles his business nicely.
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

It was alright. There were a lot of other Denzel Movies I liked better. Training Day, Deja Vu, Remember the Titans, Man on Fire...those were all better movies imo.

Training Day was badass when it came out. Just not the same when I watch it anymore. But American Gangster I could watch again and probably enjoy it a few more times. It was slow towards the middle but only because that part lacked the action sequences which we adore so much.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
I was a little bored by it. I was expecting more about Frank Lucas. I didn't like how it told Crowe's and Denzel's story and then tied it together. It seemed like it was more about Crowe's character than Frank Lucas. I guess I was looking for something along the lines of Blow or Scarface.

I thought Ridley Scott was spot on with the Direction and tone but it lacked in enthusiasm. He got his actors to do exactly what he needed but I thought the cinematography was too grainy and French Connection-ish. I thought the best performances were from Common and RZA. Common is really becoming a heavy hitter ever since I saw him in Smokin' Aces.
Editing was clean and crisp. The dialogue is what really brought the film down though. It was predictable and reminded me of New Jack City a bit too much.

I thought it was average, it moved way too slow for my liking. If it weren't for Denzel Washington the movie would have been below average IMO. He's just such a great actor, and he's funny too.

I liked the French Connection-ish theme they had going on. It was a blast from the past for sure
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
