We just saw OOT this afternoon. I thought it was a very engaging film with lots of twists in the plot. Dean's character is critical to the story. His acting is quite good, and he has some very challenging scenes.
Denzel is, of course, the star, and he stays just barely out of trouble the entire film. I don't want to spoil the movie for anyone, and I won't. The cast is very strong as is the crafting of the story.
I think this will help Dean's career a lot. I don't personally like the goatee, however it helped make Dean a credible "bad guy". Otherwise, he's just too gorgeous.
Go see this film. It's good entertainment!
