Denzel's Mark on History

Rating: Null/10 (9 August 2002)

Denzel Washington was delightfully "out-of-image" in his villainous role as Alonzo Harris, a role that would make him only the second Black American actor in history to win the Best Actor Academy Award. Watching the usually heroic Denzel play an evil character was as blast, as was watching Ethan Hawke as the good-hearted but naive rookie. Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and Macy Gray all made notable appearances in this film. Antoine Fuqa proved to be a good director as well.
