>>211530016I think many denzel washington movies were so in the zeitgeist that when they came out, people just assumed "oh, another movie with denzel" but as someone who watched most of his movies 30 years later, they're really good. they encompass everything I love about 90s movies. richochet, fallen, devil in a blue dress, the bone collector, and some of the his 2000 ones are just as enjoyable, deja vu, unstoppable, taking of pelham 123, the manchurian candidate, inside man, man on fire, training day. not all of these were rated badly but with something like deja vu, I can see how it back then was easy to disregard but ultimately it holds up as a really nice thing to watch
it's a case of "we didn't know how good we had it"
