this is gonna be a short one. I think he sucks as an actor, quote me all the examples you want, he only plays one character – Denzel Washington. You can say this about an awful lot of actors (vin diesel, bruce willis etc), but the others don’t get praise for being such great actors all the time. He was ok at the beginning of his career, but lately it seems he can do no wrong, despite the tripe he churns out. He won an oscar for training day. TRAINING DAY! did any of you actually see that? What a pile of shite! It was a bad action movie – since when do action movies get lauded for their quality of dramatic acting? He didn’t act, he just played denzel washington, too busy to talk to ethan hawke. Like in the bone collector, where he plays denzel washington, confined to a bed. Or John Q, where he plays denzel washington, irritated and holding a gun. Or The Siege, where he plays denzel washington, negotiating with some people. Or in crimson tide, where he plays denzel washington, trying to reason with gene hackman. Or in the hurricane, where he plays denzel washington, in jail. It just goes on and on.
And whats with calling a film man on fire anyway? I realise thats not his decision, but that sucks balls too. As a title.
