Yep, starring Denzel Washington and Forrest Whittaker. Absolutely brilliant.

Ahhh, I've seen the previews I believe.

How is Denzel in it? To me, he seems like he plays the exact same guy in every movie I've ever seen him in.

My thoughts exactly. I saw the previews and thought "Hey, the coach from Remember the Titans took over the debate team."

Brilliant. I don't really see the similarities between the former slave in "Glory", Malcolm X, Frank Lucas, and Melvin Tolson. Guess I'm missing something.

His acting is pretty consistent.

Of all the movies to give as an example of Denzel's excellence, you give Training Day? That's like me mentioning Kate Hudson when giving an example of actresses with great racks.

Actually I was thinking his character in Training Day would be a perfect rebuttal of the argument that all of his movies had the same basic acting theme.
