"Yall ready for that good ugly Denzel? (Roman J. Israel, Esq.)"


  

          

Check out the trailer.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CItEtnp3nPY

My favorite Denzel's movie's are when he gets to play the Denzel Character like Training Day, Philadelphia, Glory, Inside Man, Mo better Blues.

My least favorite Denzel performances (which I still even great) are the movies where he plays losers like in He Got Game and Courage Under Fire.

I can't tell which one he is in this movie from the trailer but damn it still looks good.

Denzel is the last actor left that I will check out solely on the strength of his name in the credits. Can't Wait.

That's Denzel being Denzel which I pay good money to see!!!!

then these fools give it to the silent shrugging POS Affleck because his older bro prolly gave Harvey a massage.

TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*

Pretty good film with great performances all around. There was a Q & A with the director after the film and he gave Denzel a ton of props for his vision on how the movie was made. The music in the movie, the character's affectations and look was all Denzel. Dude is running a masterclass right now.

Mainly because the trailer was cut to make us expect that this was a cool Denzel film but it really wasn't that type of film. Trailer set up expectations all wrong.


The topic of how fucked up our justice system is because of plea bargaining is a topic near and dear to heart. But they really only scratched on the surface of the issue.

Lot of Denzel walking around looking turrible.
