Another line similar people hear a lot, "the truth hurts". Creasey didn't even need a bullet to threaten with. The bullet was icing on the cake and the interrogation set up had already killed Samuel by admitting his guilt. The camera shoots occasionally, showing Samuel, during the questioning really foreshadowed his death coming up. You could really sense the guilt from Samuel's eyes at that point. As a viewer, that was a great scene too dissect. Samuel saw the painting at the wall, and Creasey played a haunch but he practically knew too. Again, the truth hurts. Awesome scene and chilling like you mentioned.

Man the look on her face was amazing and heart breaking. The man she loved and trusted who she had a child had put their little girl in the devil's house.
This by far is my favorite scene, Creasy is torn between justice and mercy. He wants to let Samuel live, but he can't because of his promise. He doesn't want to destroy the family that gave him salvation, but he knows he is damned to the deed and decides to leave it to chance, the bullet that lied. The line I'll pray for you is heartbreaking because it can be interpreted so many different ways. Is he praying Samuel lives? Praying for his salvation? The way i see it Creasy left it in God's hands being unable to pass judgement secretly hoping he would live and the family heal, but not surprised to hear the truth.

The only one I’ve ever seen was “fences” he was good In it but didn’t like the movie. But yeah he’s literally top 3 best actors of our time possibly all time as of now. Him, Daniel day Lewis, and Javier bardem are, in my opinion, the best of the best. With Tom hanks right there as well.
@@alibobobaba1337 Fuck Hanks. I mean everyone has their own preferences but fuck that guy. I always thought Gene Hackman was pretty underrated. I'd put Nicholson over Hanks.
@Billy Tresco Nicholson is the most nominated male actor in academy awards history. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, A Few Good Men, Chinatown, The Shining, As Good as it Gets, Departed. If there is one critique it is that he plays people that are all on the edge of crazy or downright crazy. That said I don't see Hanks on that same level. Hanks best performance was Road to Perdition. He also had zany films if you recall Bachelor Party, which was great, but nobody remembers that stuff because he moved on to more serious roles. It's an opinion thing and yeah I threw in the "Fuck" because I hate his politics and I do believe he was directly involved with Epstein so there ya go.
@@siberwolf33 Brando is better. The thing about Brando is he has such stunning personal charisma and gravitas that even when he's putting in 10% effort on something he's doing strictly for the money and doesn't give a tinker's damn about, like Superman, he still manages to own every second he's on the screen. And Brando in his prime, like in the Wild Ones? No one touches him, not even Alec Guinness or Daniel Day Lewis.
The look of betrayal on her eyes as she learned the truth... Even Washington's character, in the entire movie he can maintain his cool when bullets are flying at him, but for this scene he was breathing heavily and was losing his cool while confronting them. Wonderful acting, Denzel knew that even this character would be more affected to be in the presence of who he thinks was behind what happened than he would be from actual threats to his life. Also, kudos to him clearing that firearm in the correct sequence...
He was also shot multiple times 1 of which was the chest and lungs, his breathing would be labored just lying down. He's dying but not before his last act for that little girl.
@@TalkingHands308 No. He got shot then, too. How the hell do u think they kidnapped Pita? Creasy was shot 2 maybe 3 times while trying to thwart her kidnapping. The final shot he took almost killed him. He then went to a hospital where the INTERPOL guy put him in a secure location where he needed to stay for months. He left shortly after still all F'd up to find these pricks.
@@900KING2 Ah, if you're talking about that kidnapping scene. I mean, he did get hospital care for those wounds. And you don't see him breathing heavily in other scenes either... He's totally calm in every other scene besides this one and more towards the end.
@@TalkingHands308 Dude, just admit that you're wrong and your input was not only inaccurate but flawed and false. Why can't people be accountable for when they are wrong, it's not a bad thing. I say it all the time. And I love the passive attempt you make at dismissing the fact that he was shot twice, once in the chest as simply "wounds" Let someone shoot you like that if they are just wounds, bet you won't. The man also went into the swimming pool to relieve pressure where in that scene blood is oozing from his body as he's badly hurt. I mean, did you even see the F'ing movie? Or did you make a comment and it got 65 likes and you got so excited that you can't see anything else.
@Hoghs The comment above was so dumb, you had to edit the comment before you posted it because you thought you were in the running for The Dumbest Comment in the world.
Denzel brought Creasy to life here, and Creasy accomplished his mission, as no one else could've ever done. He "streamlined" justice, which is the only way he c0uld've accomplished his mission, and he knew that. As his long-time friend said: this would be Creasy's "masterpiece". And it was. The actress who played the mom was stellar as well.
Denzel was fantastic in this scene. The husband was amazing in this. Top notch acting by everyone in this. The wife excellent too. Wow great powerful scene.
@@apocratos0174 Creasy surrendered his life to save Pita's, the father surrendered Pita's well-being to pay his debts. Creasy loved that little girl more than her father.
Top 10 my favorite Denzel Washington action-thriller films - Training Day - Man On Fire - Deja Vu - The Book Of Eli - Safe House - The Taking Of Pelham 123 - Crimson Tide - The Siege - American Gangster - The Equalizer
can't stop watching this scene, WOW! when she says "you kill him, or i will" and the look on her face when samuel told her..that was some great acting there, verrry intense.
Denzel isn't just acting he is LIVING his roles dude is so fucking talented, and this movie is criminally underrated, a true gem in my eyes, top notch and GRIPPING story, amazing acting, amazing FX and stunts, the editing and direction I mean it does it all, and for that We LOVE IT!!!!...
Marc Anthony did an outstanding job. This movie has so many powerful moments. One of the best action and deeply profound movies on the psyche of human behavior.
Man on Fire was such a great title for this movie. It symbolizes two things aabout Denzels character "Creasy" Like a fire, he burned with rage, chaos and destruction. But also, just as every fire dies out after unleashing its wrath, well....you know.
xSteel FeveRx.......'Man on Fire' [Denzil Washington] is a re-make of the 1987 Italian/French co-produced film of the same title, starring Scott Glenn as 'Creasy'. The storyline in Tony Scott's 2004 remake is virtually identical - and Scott's portrayal of 'Creasy' acts as a very accurate template for Washington. As an interesting footnote - Tony Scott [who directed the 2004 remake] was actually selected to direct the original 1987 version of the film. However, the studio thought he was too inexperienced and instead appointed French director Élie Chouraqui. Finally, 'Man on Fire' is based on the 1980 novel of the same name written by AJ Quinnell.
@@thesoultwins72 The Quinnell novel is excellent. The story being set in Italy and Creasy going after the Mafia is so much better than the story of this film. The terrific characters Luigi and Colonel Satta- or characters like them- are completely missing from the film, unfortunately.
Working with the finest tools always makes the finished project more amazing. Directors must absolutely love working with top-notch talent. Writers, actors, set designers, composers, cinematographers. So many people's talent went into making this scene amazing.
One of my favourite movies. Never cried so much at an ending, but worth it. I always tell people to watch this all the way through, without interruption, and guarantee the ending will hit hard… no one has disputed it yet…
This movie is tragically underrated..It came out a few years after Training Day and people got a whole different type of movie..I've never seen grown men cry at the end of a movie like this in a theater..
This scene is poetic and beautiful in a way specially if you know the ending..denzel could have easily killed him.but he was still peta's dad and couldn't do that her..so he gave him the chance to commit suicide.
You can really see what Christopher Walken meant when he said "she showed him it was alright to live again" and the kidnappers took that away? "And they're gonna wish, they'd never touched a hair on her head" Crease was ready to do the mom even at first.
@@johnnyblazem5326 lol He means he was ready to kill the mom, if she had something to do with the kidnapping. Love how you can hear him breathing loudly, as if he’s incredibly enraged thinking both parents were in on it.
@Billy Tresco This was A black Ops..well basically an assassin. He, like everyone else, believed Pita was dead. He wasn't out to rescue her at this point. He was there to wage war on everyone who had anything to do with her killing and kidnapping. This was a machine not a man killing the mom would be no different than killing the president for him had she been involved. Also highly intelligent not just a killer. Expert in weapons, tactics explosives etc.
Denzel gets so much recognition for this role (as he should) and mad props to Radha Mitchell (also very well deserved) but I think Marc Anthony deserved more recognition for his role, especially in this scene. The whole movie he's a fairly composed, confident man and loving father and husband, but here as he starts confessing it all falls away and the desperation becomes apparent. And I love that as he's telling her, you can almost pinpoint the moment he lost his wife's love when he says "I did it for us". In that moment the realization that he can't undo what's been done, no matter how badly he wants to. Just an incredible movie all around.
0:46 potential Denzel improvise right here lol. The fun of being a Denzel fan is watching his older movies and trying to notice all the shit he does that’s not in the script😂
And with that statement I know you must be a gringo. He has been the biggest star in South America for 20 years. He is bigger in South America than J.lo is in the U.S. Ask a latina woman 25-55 who their favorite singer is.
Imagine your husband, a guy you’ve known and loved for years, is not who he appears to be, and a guy you just met recently is the one who reveals the truth to you. How can anyone be the same after that?
That's people born in August and September period Beyonce ,scarface director brian depalma,Edward scissorhands director, tim burton, chris tucker,Michael Jackson,,,etc,etc,etc
Denzel: "you move...you make one sound, I'll snatch the life right out of you, understand?" *turns entire head* Denzel: *I'll pretend I didn't see that*
I like to think creasey took pity on samuel after his confession and his wife had left him. He gave samuel that bullet to atone instead of just putting him to death himself.
Underrated movie, the acting was just incredible, brings me to tears every time. The acting from everyone in this particular scene makes me feel like I've walked in on an intimate, devastating moment in real life.
I've said many times before and I'll say it again. I'm 46 years old and I've seen a ton of movies and Denzel is the best actor I've ever seen.

@@keereekee Come on man we're just enjoying a cool movie line here man. Let us vibe my guy. Now idk anything about what you said about cattle and shit but come on it's just a cool line from the movie man.
I have never seen a movie was the Denzel Washington I didn't like.
Amazing actor
The only one I’ve ever seen was “fences” he was good In it but didn’t like the movie. But yeah he’s literally top 3 best actors of our time possibly all time as of now. Him, Daniel day Lewis, and Javier bardem are, in my opinion, the best of the best. With Tom hanks right there as well.
@@alibobobaba1337 Fuck Hanks. I mean everyone has their own preferences but fuck that guy. I always thought Gene Hackman was pretty underrated. I'd put Nicholson over Hanks.
@@siberwolf33 I’m talking from an acting stand point not political.
@Billy Tresco Nicholson is the most nominated male actor in academy awards history. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, A Few Good Men, Chinatown, The Shining, As Good as it Gets, Departed. If there is one critique it is that he plays people that are all on the edge of crazy or downright crazy. That said I don't see Hanks on that same level. Hanks best performance was Road to Perdition. He also had zany films if you recall Bachelor Party, which was great, but nobody remembers that stuff because he moved on to more serious roles. It's an opinion thing and yeah I threw in the "Fuck" because I hate his politics and I do believe he was directly involved with Epstein so there ya go.
@@siberwolf33 Brando is better. The thing about Brando is he has such stunning personal charisma and gravitas that even when he's putting in 10% effort on something he's doing strictly for the money and doesn't give a tinker's damn about, like Superman, he still manages to own every second he's on the screen. And Brando in his prime, like in the Wild Ones? No one touches him, not even Alec Guinness or Daniel Day Lewis.
The look of betrayal on her eyes as she learned the truth... Even Washington's character, in the entire movie he can maintain his cool when bullets are flying at him, but for this scene he was breathing heavily and was losing his cool while confronting them. Wonderful acting, Denzel knew that even this character would be more affected to be in the presence of who he thinks was behind what happened than he would be from actual threats to his life. Also, kudos to him clearing that firearm in the correct sequence...
He was also shot multiple times 1 of which was the chest and lungs, his breathing would be labored just lying down. He's dying but not before his last act for that little girl.
@@900KING2 Pretty sure he gets shot in the chest AFTER this scene. That was when he was chasing down the brother of "The Voice."
@@TalkingHands308 No. He got shot then, too. How the hell do u think they kidnapped Pita? Creasy was shot 2 maybe 3 times while trying to thwart her kidnapping. The final shot he took almost killed him. He then went to a hospital where the INTERPOL guy put him in a secure location where he needed to stay for months. He left shortly after still all F'd up to find these pricks.
@@900KING2 Ah, if you're talking about that kidnapping scene. I mean, he did get hospital care for those wounds. And you don't see him breathing heavily in other scenes either... He's totally calm in every other scene besides this one and more towards the end.
@@TalkingHands308 Dude, just admit that you're wrong and your input was not only inaccurate but flawed and false. Why can't people be accountable for when they are wrong, it's not a bad thing. I say it all the time. And I love the passive attempt you make at dismissing the fact that he was shot twice, once in the chest as simply "wounds" Let someone shoot you like that if they are just wounds, bet you won't. The man also went into the swimming pool to relieve pressure where in that scene blood is oozing from his body as he's badly hurt. I mean, did you even see the F'ing movie? Or did you make a comment and it got 65 likes and you got so excited that you can't see anything else.
The rage and disbelief in her eyes when he says Jordan said she'd sit in her room and eat ice cream all day...damn
The actress who played Lisa here is INCREDIBLE and 100% on par with Denzel. Just brilliant!! 👏🏽
Rahda Mitchell
I’m not a Mark Anthony fan, but he did a great job as his character in this movie
one of the greatest movies of all time.
@Hoghs that’s debatable. I mean, have you even read yours?
@Hoghs The comment above was so dumb, you had to edit the comment before you posted it because you thought you were in the running for The Dumbest Comment in the world.
@Hoghs You are also not afraid of winning that trophy. Hold it high so we can all see it.
@Hoghs what makes the comment dumb exactly? What's wrong with the movie?
I love this movie but One of the greatest of all time? Not sure about that. I will say the acting in this is really, really good from everyone.
Denzel brought Creasy to life here, and Creasy accomplished his mission, as no one else could've ever done. He "streamlined" justice, which is the only way he c0uld've accomplished his mission, and he knew that. As his long-time friend said: this would be Creasy's "masterpiece". And it was. The actress who played the mom was stellar as well.
Radha Mitchell. Very underrated actress.
Denzel was fantastic in this scene. The husband was amazing in this. Top notch acting by everyone in this. The wife excellent too. Wow great powerful scene.
Creasy loved Pita more than her own father did.
Naa
Yes. And it is even more clear in the book
Right he loved her so much he gave his life for hers
Nope
If you think that youre dumber than a door....
Loooooool
@@apocratos0174 Creasy surrendered his life to save Pita's, the father surrendered Pita's well-being to pay his debts. Creasy loved that little girl more than her father.
Top 10 my favorite Denzel Washington action-thriller films
- Training Day
- Man On Fire
- Deja Vu
- The Book Of Eli
- Safe House
- The Taking Of Pelham 123
- Crimson Tide
- The Siege
- American Gangster

Inside man is also a good one that’s in my Top 10
Devil in a blue dress is also a great movie. Fences. Glory. John Q. Inside man. Bone Collector. Fallen. Too many to name.
Great list!
Missed Remember the titans
The hurricane
can't stop watching this scene, WOW! when she says "you kill him, or i will" and the look on her face when samuel told her..that was some great acting there, verrry intense.
“You move, you make one sound.. I’ll snatch the life right outta you, you understand?” One of the best movie threats all time!
As far as this film goes it ranks up with Walken’s line, “Creasy’s art is death. He’s about to paint his masterpiece”.
He then makes sounds and no life gets snatched out of him at all
Such a great scene in a movie full of great scenes. This and the one where Walkins is describing Creasy as about to paint his masterpiece are perfect.
Jesus Christ, hell of a scene. Denzel's silence during the yelling says he understood. Smh. Damn exceptional acting.
Denzel is one of the best to ever do it.
Ever.
He is perfect, my friend.
Is the best to ever do it
*Is the best to EVER do it
Denzel isn't just acting he is LIVING his roles dude is so fucking talented, and this movie is criminally underrated, a true gem in my eyes, top notch and GRIPPING story, amazing acting, amazing FX and stunts, the editing and direction I mean it does it all, and for that We LOVE IT!!!!...
The music adds so much to the movie also. Superb !
He has 1 movie I've only watched on because my heart can't take it.....john Q
"I am a professional", is the one line that gets me every time in this movie.
I keep hearing that- I hear everyone tell me that. "I'm a professional." I'M GETTING REAL TIRED OF HEARING THAT
Marc Anthony did an outstanding job. This movie has so many powerful moments. One of the best action and deeply profound movies on the psyche of human behavior.
It appears hes a better actor than singer
@@johnreed9050 it appears 12 million people disagree with you
@@halvorskog
Is that all. I was hoping for more.
He made this movie great.
The essence of the story.
Hardcore.
Thank you for the scene.
This was a great scene. These actors did this story justice.
“You move...you make one sound...I’ll snatch the life right outta ya”. Awesome line.
Denzel is one of the best actors that ever did it ! He can do any role and master it
4:51 i love how denzel turned back, he wasn’t expecting him to use the gun, because he was talking about biting the bullet
what do you mean biting the bullet??? You mean literally. I think he knew he was gonna kill him
Man on Fire was such a great title for this movie. It symbolizes two things aabout Denzels character "Creasy"
Like a fire, he burned with rage, chaos and destruction. But also, just as every fire dies out after unleashing its wrath, well....you know.
xSteel FeveRx.......'Man on Fire' [Denzil Washington] is a re-make of the 1987 Italian/French co-produced film of the same title, starring Scott Glenn as 'Creasy'. The storyline in Tony Scott's 2004 remake is virtually identical - and Scott's portrayal of 'Creasy' acts as a very accurate template for Washington.
As an interesting footnote - Tony Scott [who directed the 2004 remake] was actually selected to direct the original 1987 version of the film. However, the studio thought he was too inexperienced and instead appointed French director Élie Chouraqui. Finally, 'Man on Fire' is based on the 1980 novel of the same name written by AJ Quinnell.
Wow beta xDresser FeveRx you’re one deep woman
@@thesoultwins72 The Quinnell novel is excellent. The story being set in Italy and Creasy going after the Mafia is so much better than the story of this film. The terrific characters Luigi and Colonel Satta- or characters like them- are completely missing from the film, unfortunately.
I like when Denzel Washington said shut up to Marc Anthony gets me every time😂😂😂
When I say this is by far one of my favorite movies with Denzel Washington in. I love this one here I can watch it over and over it never gets old
Working with the finest tools always makes the finished project more amazing. Directors must absolutely love working with top-notch talent. Writers, actors, set designers, composers, cinematographers. So many people's talent went into making this scene amazing.
So underrated!!! One of the best movies ever...and best acting of Denzel...even better than the 3 equalizer movies which are also "great cinema"...!!!
He deserves a Academy award.
When it comes down to this.
You die with your heart.
My gf saw me cried when he passed in the way.
Mark Anthony did a great job in this too. One of my favorite films.
What a fine Actor! I’ll never get enough of Denzel Washington.He has sewn himself to the fiber of this Movie.
One of my favourite movies. Never cried so much at an ending, but worth it. I always tell people to watch this all the way through, without interruption, and guarantee the ending will hit hard… no one has disputed it yet…
Anyone else notice the tiny dent on the primer. That's attention to detail. What a great movie. Such a powerful scene.
20 years...what an epic film
One of the best films of 2004
Objective: To fake the kidnapping of his own daughter.
Obstacle: The bodyguard he himself hired to protect his daughter.
Yeah, Samuel really fucked himself.
He needed to have one to keep the insurance policy. But to make the fraud easier, he got rid of the professional and hired a freelancer. Ha!
Didn't he somehow know that Creasy was a has-been, with a serious drinking problem, who would fail to protect Pita?
@@erik_dk842 I think that was the plan. Creasy had others.
@@billy2533 So the little girl died at the end?
It's so illegal how underrated this movie is
This movie is tragically underrated..It came out a few years after Training Day and people got a whole different type of movie..I've never seen grown men cry at the end of a movie like this in a theater..
This scene is poetic and beautiful in a way specially if you know the ending..denzel could have easily killed him.but he was still peta's dad and couldn't do that her..so he gave him the chance to commit suicide.
You can really see what Christopher Walken meant when he said "she showed him it was alright to live again" and the kidnappers took that away? "And they're gonna wish, they'd never touched a hair on her head" Crease was ready to do the mom even at first.
In the first version he did have a affair with her but the test screens didn't like it so they took it out
@@johnnyblazem5326 lol He means he was ready to kill the mom, if she had something to do with the kidnapping. Love how you can hear him breathing loudly, as if he’s incredibly enraged thinking both parents were in on it.
He the equalizer
@@malasuertexch13 I didn't catch that until your post. LOL yes I meant do as in kill her 😅
@Billy Tresco This was A black Ops..well basically an assassin. He, like everyone else, believed Pita was dead. He wasn't out to rescue her at this point. He was there to wage war on everyone who had anything to do with her killing and kidnapping. This was a machine not a man killing the mom would be no different than killing the president for him had she been involved. Also highly intelligent not just a killer. Expert in weapons, tactics explosives etc.
One of Denzel's best movies ever, such a strong main character.
One not to be ashamed of because I was right there with you!
"you're tearing me apart Lisa"
"Oh hi Marc Anthony."
You must me kidding aren’t you?
Stellllaaaaaaaaa
Funniest thing is he dies exactly the same way as Johnny did
@@ekathe85 oh fuck you're right
The majestic acting of all three, you never forget them.
"I'll snatch the life right out of ya, you understand?"
You have my undivided attention Denzel.
Denzel gets so much recognition for this role (as he should) and mad props to Radha Mitchell (also very well deserved) but I think Marc Anthony deserved more recognition for his role, especially in this scene. The whole movie he's a fairly composed, confident man and loving father and husband, but here as he starts confessing it all falls away and the desperation becomes apparent. And I love that as he's telling her, you can almost pinpoint the moment he lost his wife's love when he says "I did it for us". In that moment the realization that he can't undo what's been done, no matter how badly he wants to. Just an incredible movie all around.
Facts!!!!
If wasn't a famous musician this wouldn't have been a surprise...MA was superb in this role
Way way way better film than some of the crime film these days!!! Modern classic!!!
I’ve seen this film many times and don’t think Denzel Washington even gets warm..let alone on fire. He’s just so cool.
Amen to that; both he and Sidney Poitier has this inner coolness that always come out!!
0:46 potential Denzel improvise right here lol. The fun of being a Denzel fan is watching his older movies and trying to notice all the shit he does that’s not in the script😂
I wish it were improvised.
If it was, it'd be more if she actually jumped at the reaction.
This is one of my all time favourite movies. Everything about it is class
Marc Anthony deserved an acting career. He was above decent.
And with that statement I know you must be a gringo. He has been the biggest star in South America for 20 years. He is bigger in South America than J.lo is in the U.S. Ask a latina woman 25-55 who their favorite singer is.
He has a good face for a bad guy
He was in movies before. The substitute
He's a great actor. I think Hollywood tends to throw bs roles his way and he has the status to choose what he goes for.
😅😅
She goes from saying "Samuel, I love you!" to "Kill him, or I will" in less than 4 minutes😮
0:18 the heavy breathing that subtlety shows his inner rage is top tier acting.
Imagine your husband, a guy you’ve known and loved for years, is not who he appears to be, and a guy you just met recently is the one who reveals the truth to you. How can anyone be the same after that?
There’s scenes they cut out where she has sex with Creasy. So he’s actually not just some guy

Once you go black, baby.
Incredible film. It left a lasting impression on me. Hard to believe that it is a remake.
Heavy breathing, "I'll snatch the life right out of you, you understand?!?"
One of the best lines ever...
But he did not do it! It was just a hollow threat that carried no weight or Samuel would not waited a mere 30 seconds before he ignored it!
nah, he didnt snatch the life right out of him when seconds later Samuel spoke. So it was a phony line
Marc Anthony is an incredible actor, singer and producer
Damn that was Marc Anthony? I had no idea all these years.
Agreed
That's people born in August and September period

@@TheStapleGunKid yes he is

*turns entire head*
Denzel: *I'll pretend I didn't see that*
🤣🤣🤣
He stood up and everything
Denzel was GREAT in this movie !! Great movie !
Marc Anthony played so well he still feels like a villain to me. Denzel stole the show while if I ran into Marc I wouldn’t trust him today lol
You feel Danzel's Adrenalin coursing through his body. God wrath is in the room.
I like to think creasey took pity on samuel after his confession and his wife had left him. He gave samuel that bullet to atone instead of just putting him to death himself.
One of the best movies, Tony Scott is such a talented director
Marc anthony acting make the difference in this scene. Great acting for a singer...
Such an underrated movie and Denzel should’ve gotten another Oscar for it
This is one of the BEST D. Washington
Movies ever!!
Denzel never disappoint
Marc didn't need to act in this movie, he just be him
"It Didn't Work For Me"
"May Be It Will Work For You"
That Sh"t is Deep...
Every one loves Denzel’s range. That’s what talent looks like. He’s got it.
The panting, the vicious "Shut up" damn...
Denzel is a bad man greatest actor I've seen in my 38 years on this planet
Creasey's art...is death and he's about to paint his masterpiece😶
-Mr. Chris Walken
One of the most powerful movies...EVER!! AND THE SOUNDTRACK 🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾
Denzel is the GOAT.

😂😂
"I'll snatch the life right out of you" brrrr. Denzel ur awesome. (Always.)
The writer who wrote that line is awesome.
Underrated movie, the acting was just incredible, brings me to tears every time. The acting from everyone in this particular scene makes me feel like I've walked in on an intimate, devastating moment in real life.
