Is this the best Denzel Washington movie?


I like Denzel Washington a lot!

I was this movie and I felt its like a punch in the stomach :) very hard hitting.

I really liked Denzel Washington's performance in the movie. Do fans here consider this to be one of the best? if not, please tell me which ones.

I cannot believe that this movie isn't in the top 250.

Denzel received Golden Globe for his preformance, but he should receive Oscar 4 it eswell !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Training day is Denzel"s best ever. Next is Man on Fire. Then just about anything else as this guy is an all time great actor, I love him.

Dedicated to the wonderful art of movie making.

Training Day, Malcolm X, American Gangster & Man On Fire

I haven't seen all of Denzel's movies, but I have seen a lot of them, including this one.

It's difficult for me to imagine how any performance of his could ever top his extraordinarily powerful work in "Glory," though I would say that "Malcolm X" came close.

Yes, this one and Man On Fire are my favorite Denzel movies.

Deal with it, Cate Blanchett!

I am appalled no one mentioned Remember the Titans. That was one heck of a film.

I have to go with Glory at #1, and Training Day at #2, after that many of his performances are very good, like American Gangster (although it reminds us very much of his performance in Training Day), Malcolm X, and Man On Fire.

im a huge denzel fan. that punch in the stomach quality is what makes me such a fan of his. ive watched this movie several times, and would definitely put in the top 100 not just top 250.

... Top 5 performances that I've seen:
- Malcolm X
- The Hurricane
- Flight
- American Gangster
- Training Day...

... Apparently, these are supposed to be good performances as well:
- Glory [?]
- Cry Freedom [?]
- Remember the Titans [?]
- Inside Man [?]...

... Yes, The Hurricane could very well be the best movie that I have seen that has Denzel Washington in it... I really enjoyed it and rate it 8/10...

... I especially enjoyed watching Mr. Washington himself in this movie...

could be, thinking about it from an acting stand point, i would say yes definitely. just my opinion you understand, as far as the whole ball of wax, acting, camera, set dec, locations, blah blah, man on fire takes the cake. i always tear up at the end when that song starts. dont tell.
