Every Denzel Washington Movie Ranked Worst To Best

Following the end of WW2, unemployed vet Easy Rawlings (Washington) is hired to investigate the disappearance of a woman (Jennifer Beals), and soon finds himself completely out of his element.

An incredibly slick neo-noir thriller, Devil In a Blue Dress finds Washington on ridiculously cool form, carrying the film with an elegant charisma unmatched by the vast majority of performances in his filmography.

The film also subverts expectations with its twists, especially where Don Cheadle's lively turn as Easy's close friend Mouse is concerned. It's truly a masterclass of tone and character, making you yearn for Washington to return to the genre.
