I agree. Hawke was fantastic. Denzel's cartoonish performance matched the cartoon final act of the film, though. So maybe he was actually brilliant.lennytheweedwhacker wrote:hawke was great in training day, but denzel was just so cartoonish...i laughed a lot when i wasn't supposed to
He's also great in Hurricane. Though the movie isn't as good as it should be.tragabigzanda wrote:I really like Denzel in these flicks:
Training Day
Glory
Inside Man
He Got Game
Philadelphia
Malcolm X
And I've never seen Mo Better Blues, but I bet I'd like him in that based on his other works with Spike Lee.
