There was no shame in the runner-up slot for Eli's directors, the twins Albert and Allen Hughes, or for the star, Denzel Washington, who in his first real action role enjoyed the second highest opening weekend of his career, after the 2007 American Gangster.

...pressure from Cornell continued as rookie Zeke Scherl fell at the No. 3 slot again, giving the Big Red a one-game lead, but No. 9 Alexander Ma came from behind to even back the score. Co-captain Colin West, Harvard’s top player who has yet to lose a game this season, picked off Alex Domenick to give the Crimson a shaky 4-3 lead...
