[edit] Plot

Denzel Washington plays Doug Carlin, an ATF agent who is called in to recover evidence in the investigation of a New Orleans ferry bombing and experiences a revelation that could allow him to save hundreds of innocent people.

[edit] Background

Filming in New Orleans, Louisiana was delayed following Hurricane Katrina because of the devastation caused by the storm and the collapse of the Federal levees (see: Effect of Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans). Many of the exteriors were set to be shot in New Orleans, including a key sequence involving the Canal Street/Algiers ferry across the Mississippi River. After the city was reopened, the cast and crew returned to New Orleans to continue filming; some scenes of the post-Katrina devastation were worked into the plot. They also spent two weeks filming a scene at a local bayou, Four Mile Bayou, in Morgan City, Louisiana.
