Every Denzel Washington Movie Ranked Worst To Best

16. Antwone Fisher (2002)

Denzel Washington Malcolm X
20th Century Fox

In his searing directorial debut, Denzel Washington stars as a therapist hired to help a troubled sailor (Derek Luke) come to grips with his demons.

Rich with hopeful, empowering insights into confronting our pasts and controlling our emotions, Antwone Fisher is impeccably performed - especially by a breakout Derek Luke - and fearlessly directed.

Equal parts heartbreaking, bleak, upbeat and honest, this is exactly the kind of movie you'd expect Washington to make, and he hits it out the park.
