I knew Denzel Washington Was a Great Actor...

Rating: 8/10 (22 April 1999)

As a child, I remember seeing Denzel Washington in a movie called "Carbon Copy" and thinking wow this movie stinks and he stinks too.
But after watching him on St. Elsewhere (the best TV Hospital show ever despite what the ER crew might have you believe) for many years and then finally in Glory those Carbon Copy memories have been erased from my brain for good. His performance was one of the greatest ever captured on film (his performance as Malcolm X and the lawyer in Philadelphia were fantastic as well). The whipping scene made me cry. Also of note is Morgan Freeman (he is good in everything) and Andre Braugher.
