Whats the worst boss or worst first day you've ever had at a job?

I love watching people slowly realize how evil Denzel really is in this. The man can play anything, and his villains are some of his best work.

Man on Fire starring Denzel is a good movie to follow up with to see Denzel as a good guy.

The speech Alonzo recites to Hoyt after killing the corrupt cop is exactly what the radio report says at the end of the movie but with Alonzo's name in it.

"Man on Fire" and "Book of Eli" are two great Denzel movies where he plays a good guy badass

One of Denzel’s best performances, which finally won him his Best Actor Oscar. It is one of the best examples of an unreliable main character that you slowly realize is the true villain of the piece.

Book of Eli is also a good Denzel movie where he plays basically the goodest of good guys

Here's one I noticed only recently. When Hoyt is pacing outside Alonzo's car after he shot Roger, Alonzo says into his phone; "Just make sure that bathtub is clean." Alonzo had already decided that Hoyt was going to be a problem and needed to be taken out.

Terry Crews was cast in this film because he was hanging out on set with his friend that was working on the film. The director saw him and put him in it. It was sort of his break.

Crimson Tide is a fantastic Denzel movie if you're looking for another one to watch! Deja Vu is also a massively underrated movie.

Man On Fire is the movie you want! His break out role was probably Cry Freedom, or Glory a couple years later. Those films push him into the big league.

“Glory” was his breakout role and “Malcolm X” was great too

When Jake saved that girl, he had unknowingly acquired ‘life insurance.’ Love it when the good guy or gal uses the words of the villain against him or her.

His breakout role was actually as a regular on St. Elsewhere, a medical show that definitely led to starring movie roles. But I’d say Glory, where he played a former slave who joins a Union army all-black regiment that won him his Best Supporting Actor Oscar. That may be his breakout film role. Training Day he won Best Lead Actor, but I always remember Glory as where I saw how charismatic, strong, and likable he could be given the right material. Another one you might want to check out is Man on Fire. It’s very much in the vein of The Equalizer but with much different stakes and actually preceded that role.

Alonzo was based on a real corrupt LAPD officer named Rafael Perez. I loved how Denzel played him, like a medieval Lord shaking down his serfs. It gave the character such a tragic grandeur that we don't see in other movies like this. You guys should definitely react to End of Watch with Jake Gyllenhaal, it's by the same director as this and it's probably the best cop movie in a very long time.

Denzel is one of the greatest actors of all time. His performance in this movie was phenomenal and it earned him the best actor award.

You guys might give The Bone Collector a look if you want to see Denzel in not only a good guy role, but also a very unique role. Philadelphia, the movie he did with Tom Hanks, is also a real good one. Both he and Hanks give incredibly powerful performances in that one.

Denzel’s swag was on 10 this movie. Had the younger generation of women realizing what their moms saw in him

Denzel saying “your in the office” with Dr Dre slowly starting in the background, one of my favorite movie moments

1998's Fallen with Denzel is a tragically underrated movie. I don't know anyone that has seen it that didn't love it, but it was so poorly advertised that it never caught on and younger generations have often never heard of it.

“Inside Man” with Jodie Foster, Clive Owen, Christopher Plummer, directed by Spike Lee, is an underrated gem. And yes, Denzel plays a good guy. Classic Denzel. Really good bank heist story.

The whole King Kong line was completely improvised and the director just let him roll. Also, Denzel Washington is without a doubt, a master of his craft. Superb, phenomenal, amazing.

This is a top 10 all-timer for me, it is so intense. Denzel is absolutely untouchable.

Man On Fire is a great example of Denzel as a good guy who does break the rules, but is still a good guy. He also does a good job portraying someone struggling with post traumatic stress.

This film is sometimes referenced as the only one where Denzel plays a bad guy. But there is another incredible (and pretty underlooked one if you ask me) film of his which is called American Gangster. Directed by none other than Ridley Scott by the way and starting Russell Crowe as well. Very much worth watching.

American Gangster is another good "Denzel as bad guy" movie. Excellent performances by Denzel, Josh Brolin and Russell Crowe.

Another incredible Denzel Washington performance that is less bad and more complex is the 2012 movie Flight. Directed by Robert Zemeckis where He plays a hero that saves a lot of people but is an alcoholic and his character is questioned but it ends in a happy manner where he redeems himself. I think you guys will love that and it has one of the best plane crash sequences I’ve ever seen. It’s thrilling.

The scene where they are playing cards is amazing, the way the tension builds up even before you fully understand what is going down. The very first time I watched that scene made me feel exactly the same feeling as when you have smoked too much & in the wrong location. That paranoia & acute anxiety building up and up is exactly what I felt. I have never felt anything so visceral before or since and I cannot explain why, I guess for some reason that scene just resonates with me personally for whatever reason.

Watch Denzel in Malcolm X, where he just takes over the character and becomes him. Not sure if that was his breakout but it's definitely one of his best roles. Thanks for reacting! Denzel is so good that he never seems typecast. He can play anything and be convincing. He's the Cate Blanchett of male actors.

If you need to see Denzel as a good guy again, do "Man On Fire" next!

Denzel can do anything and be just incredible. He is one of the greatest actors ever, for sure. You should check out more from this director. His name is Antoine Fuqua and he has made some wonderful movies such as Tears of the Sun, Shooter, and The Magnificent Seven (also with Denzel and Ethan Hawke). He also directed The Equalizer, so he and Denzel have done a lot together. Also, to answer your question around 13:15, if you swallow bindles of something then it is a gamble if your stomach acid eats through the balloon or not. If it does, you will most likely overdose and die. If it doesn't, you will poop it out later. If the cops know you swallowed something, the most common approach is to take you to jail, put you in a cell without a working toilet, and fish the bindles out of the shit later. It is called being "dry celled" and it is unpleasant, but effective.

If you guys want to see another movie with Denzel where he’s amazing and both a “good guy” (grey), but also scary, Man on Fire is amazing, you guys would enjoy it

His breakout movie was really Glory. Even though he wasnt THE star in that, had already done the TV show St. Elsewhere and had been the leading actor in other movies, it wasn't until Glory that everyone pretty much knew he would be the next big main event Hollywood star.

American Gangster is a pretty good Denzel Washington movie, which usually is slept on

Man on fire, John Q, Philadelphia are all great Denzel movies where he's a good guy.

"Flight" has one of my favorite Denzel performances; not a villian but an ambiguous character that only he could play.

Crimson Tide (1995) features an intense acting battle between Denzel & Gene Hackman.

Its amazing how much range Denze has. No matter the role, who goes full into it, embracing it. I have watched many, many Denzel films and I have never seen performance where he hasn´t put everything possibly on play as much as script allows it. From Training Day, to Equalizer, to Rememer the Titans, John Q and Glory. One of the most underrated Denzel film is: Unstoppable (2010).

John Q The Hurricane And Malcolm X There are all movies that Denzel should have won awards for more than Training Day. In 2 he is playing real people

“Crimson Tide” - two generations’ top tier actors. Brilliant Writing also excellent.

He won an Oscar for this because that year Russell Crowe was supposed to win for A Beautiful Mind but shorty before that Russell had a big fight with the head of the academy and pinned him against a wall. The head swore he would never win another Oscar again and that year Denzel and Halley Berry won. Denzel should have won an Oscar outright for Flight. He was amazing in that.

My buddy showed me this film and I love it. Have to rewatch it every few years and what better excuse than a CineBinge reaction??

The Mighty Quinn (1988), Man on Fire (2004), The Pelican Brief (1993), Crimson Tide (1995), Malcolm X (1992), and Philadelphia (1993) are a few Denzel Washington films I can think of off the top of my head.

In Glory, Denzel plays a character that has a lot of anger.. mad at the world and everyone in it. and by the end you just cry rooting for him. He won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. Costarring Morgan Freeman. But for sheer Denzel? Man on Fire is IT. There is a reason he worked with Tony Scott so much.

One of the best acting performances ever! Denzel was so good in this, even though we all saw how messed up his character really was, he still remained somewhat likeable until the very end. Honestly, I would just love to see Denzel in a proper villian role once more

Remember the Titans is his best likeable role. I believe Glory was his first big role as a supporting actor and he won an academy award, golden globe, NAACP image award. On screen with Matthew Brodrick, Morgan Freeman, Cary Elwes, and Captain Holt himself.

Man on fire is a great Denzel as a badass good guy. It's like if this character in training day had a life experience that made him change to make amends

Denzel won an Academy Award for this performance, although deserved at the same time it was a makeup award for the Oscar’s historic blunder for Denzel not winning it for Malcolm X prior which to this day most people say he should’ve gotten it for.

This movie does not get old. Absolute classic

Glory, in 1989, was Denzel’s breakout role and a worthwhile watch for you guys (also starring Morgan Freeman, Matthew Broderick, and Cary Elwes of Princess Bride fame).

To me his breakout role had to be in Glory... Which helped lead to X... One of his hidden gems for me is a detective noir film called Devil in a Blue dress... Then there's Ricochet, the Siege, Remember the Titans, the Manchurian Candidate remake and Inside Job are my favorites... I think you guys could do one of these a week for the next few months 😂🔥💯

This movie is fantastic. One of my favorites! Man on Fire is a great film with Denzel back in the "good" or "protector" role if you're anxious to see him likeable again. Also take a look at John Q

a movie called Fallen is one of denzel's best, somewhat lesser known and underrated but a good movie training day is awesome, as well tho

Fallen is an awesome Denzel movie! You definitely should watch it.

His breakout role was "Glory" way back in 1989(?).

Not sure if you've already reacted to Denzel in The Book of Eli but, if not, that's an amazing post-apocalyptic tale. And Gary Oldman plays another of his wonderfully twisted bad guys. Highly recommend it.

Dave Chappelle redid the wet scene with Wayne Brady on his show. It was funny as hell.

My favourite Ethan Hawke movie is Gattaca. I recommend you guys react to that.

“If your new boss makes you smoke PCP, don’t” - Lol

You guys should watch blood in blood out, it's a 3 hour long movie about Mexican gangs in L.A it's one if my favorite movies of all time it's a Rollercoaster of emotions 💯

Book of Eli was Denzel as a hero. Good flick. Glory, or Virtuosity are the first things I remember seeing him in, but I feel like I'm forgetting some big roles.

This was incredible.... I love your reactions for Training Day so much! I will watch this one again

At 26:34 - George says 'this is what happens when you have max charisma'. Yeah, exactly, Denzel is so charming that even though he's a horrible criminal and directly advocating actions that Hawke is supposed to spend his life preventing, you listen to him. This role is a demo reel for why Denzel is so well regarded as an actor.

Glory was the film that made Denzel a star. I'd also recommend Malcolm X and Glory. Besides this role my fav of his was Flight, where he plays a good guy with flaws

This move is one of the best character development exercises out there. Helluva movie

Great reaction as always! The movie that made me fall in love with Denzel when I was young was John Q. Otherwise I'm sure people will recommend Man on Fire and Philadelphia. Really you can't go wrong with anything he does.

Dre was casted, because he write soundtrack, most famously “Stll Dre” (the one that played when Ethan Hawke first sat in the car)

His other big villain role is American Gangster. I'd say the role that exploded him was Malcolm X. A movie that, to this day, a shockingly small amount of black people have seen considering his star power. Which just shows how controversial the man himself was. Even despite the fake embrace he's received recently from scheming cons.

John Q - He's great it that aswell

Not sure if you guys have already watched it, but Remember the Titans is a great movie and Denzel is fantastic and definitely the protagonist. One of my favorites!

Commenters here are bringing up Denzel’s role in “Glory”, which got him his first Oscar; but his first movie role, a movie which was also nominated for several Oscars, was “A Soldier’s Story”. It’s a movie that not many people mention or remember, but was fantastic and well worth watching and reacting to. Denzel was good enough to get nominated, but the actor who played his Sargeant got a Best Supporting Actor nomination (I think he won that year too).

"My shortest job was seven minutes" "What is it?" "It's a long story, I'll tell ya later". That struck me as hilarious, even though I know that wasn't the intent.

You guys have to watch "Fallen" with Denzel. One of his best movies, imo. Thanks for your content. :D

Great job guys. Another movie even better that almost nobody has reacted to us: “Lord of War.” With Ethan Hawke & Nicholas Cage. Based on a true story! Another Denzel movie even better is: “Inside Man.” Hope you react to it!

1996’s ‘Virtuosity’ with Denzel and a then unknown actor named Russell Crowe. 1993’s ‘The Pelican Brief’ with Denzel and Julia Roberts.

Denzel plays boxer, Rubin "Hurricane" Carter in the movie, The Hurricane. It's about a true story of a rising middleweight boxer who is wrongly convicted of triple murder. One of his most powerful performances.

I think Glory was Denzel Washington's first big role. He was great in it.

“Whatever the fuck ever” is one of my favorite Denzel lines.

You must see “Inside Man”! Quality high end crime thriller. Denzel is the main character (and good guy). Excellent actors throughout. Clive Owen. Jody Foster. Willem Defoe…

Denzel Washington's breakout role was virtuosity. He was a good guy in The Book of Eli. Literally my favorite Denzel Washington movie.

American Gangster (Denzel as a equally terrifying and charismatic, if not more than Alonzo, as he plays a NYC prolific drug kingpin, Frank Lucas- BASED ON REAL EVENTS). And for a good Guy, like The Equalizer, -- watch the film, The Book of Eli(With Gary Oldman and Mila Kunis)-- ALSO A VERY UNDERRATED FILM and one of my favorites: The Siege, starring Denzel, Bruce Willis, Annette Bening and Tony Shalhoub.-- however some films that run the gambit which tests his range: Flight, Crimson Tide, Glory(one of his first), He Got Game, Fences, and The Great Debaters. Try. Them. All. And heck, throw in The Mighty Quinn and Roman J. Israel Esq..

At the beginning when you guys were laughing all I could think was "You won't be laughing much longer". Great movie!!

28:06 - I'm surprised you didn't recognize the young "Raymond Cruz" at the table playing cards. He played "Tuco" on Breaking Bad. He was also excellent in the movie "Clear and Present Danger" (as "Chavez" the sniper).

If you liked Training Day I would also highly recommend the tv show "The Shield" its an amazing show about corrupt cops.

you should probably watch denzel in malcolm x or american gangster

Glory was Denzels breakout. Oscar for best supporting actor. His role in Flight is the best portrayal of alcoholism I have seen. Denzel is so good

"Courage Under Fire" Underrated and never gets mentioned. Matt Damon, Meg Ryan, Lou Diamond Phillips and Michael Moriarty.

This is my favorite Denzel movie, but my second favorite has to be Remember the Titans. Such a great movie, whether you love football or know nothing about it. Would love that reaction!

Great movie. One of the Denzel's best movies

Philadelphia. His character has a real journey in that movie!

"The book of Eli" is maybe the other face from this for Denzel =)

Dre was fine, its only beacuse he's dr dre that you notice, you end up paying more close attention to his acting than needed, dope reaction.

Watch Denzel in Flight, super likable guy.

Great reaction and review! 😀 I enjoyed your conversation throughout!

Antwone Fisher: Dramatic film with Denzel as the mentor Carbon Copy: 19 yr. old Denzel.. maybe his first starring role? Malcolm X: Classic true story of a man who goes through transformations as his life moves forward.

Ethan Hawke is so underrated

Great reactions as usual. Denzel is so good he's scary

Inside Man is a great movie with Denzel as a good guy cop in over his head. Basically plays the Ethan Hawke role from this movie.

"Fallen" (1998) is great; Denzel as a perfectly likeable and it's a great watch. Perfect for your channel. Also some good people have mentioned "The Pelican Brief", "Crimson Tide", and "Philadelphia". All also good films. Love the channel, guys.

Oh and also an observation worth mentioning, "Strong Safety" in American football (which Roger was able to immediately identify Hoyte as having played at North Hollywood High), is considered the last line of defense against the offensive team... so in essence, Jake was built metaphorically to be the last line of defense against not only the criminals, but the corrupt law enforcement, as well.... He represents the only thing that stands in the way of both crime and corruption, and it is only because of Jake's level of incorruptible decency that he was both the perfect fall-guy for Alonzo, but ironically also Alonzo's ultimate undoing... Pick a green, idealistic, morally-intact rookie, and expect him to succumb to the harshness of the system they all find themselves in... but instead, Jake's purity and steadfastness is what ultimately reigns supreme and defeats Alonzo without ever even having to fire a shot at him (except one in the ASS for good measure)!
