Every Denzel Washington Movie Ranked Worst To Best

43. Ricochet (1991)

Ricochet Denzel Washington John Lithgow
Warner Bros.

About as quintessentially 90s as an action movie has ever been, Washington stars in Ricochet as a D.A desperate to bring down a deadly hitman (John Lithgow).

Relentless and gleefully aware of how silly it is, the film finds Washington being a little bit too straight for the material, but particularly soars with Lithgow's energetic portrayal of vengeful evil.

It's not high art, and Washington feels slightly miscast, but it's still adrenaline-fuelled madness that's earned its place as a cult gem.
