It has only taken me 20 years to finally watch this film, was on tv today so took the opportunity to actually watch it. Hanks and Denzel were fantastic in their roles, perfect performances for a tough topic at the time. It is odd watching it now based on their reactions to someone with aids, they were worried that touching something with aids could give them the disease. Things have changed a lot just in a couple of decades, shows how dangerous mis-information can be. It was a strong story and it was executed well. Minor complaint about some of the choices of camera shots and angles used that didn't quite fit the serious vibe of the film. Overall I am glad that I decided to watch it, should have caught up with it years ago.
Rating: 9/10
