Every Denzel Washington Movie Ranked Worst To Best

Securing him his second Oscar (though it should have been his third or fourth), Training Day finds Washington at his most explosive and scene-stealing.

As corrupt cop Alonzo Harris, he slowly peels back the layers to reveal a man who isn't just a crooked officer, but a deadly, fragile, and viciously self-centred killer able to own every room he's in, and control those he needs in his corner.

Alongside an also-great Ethan Hawke, Washington uses every scene available to turn Harris into a walking cinematic monster, one so powerful and booming he really makes you wish he played the bad guy more often.
