Best & Worse Film Starring Don Cheadle

[LevelUp]

Thought I would put a spin on things after seeing that thread on Denzel on the front page. in your opinion, What is the best/worse film starring Don Cheadle ? I know the majority of poster will probably name-drop Hotel Rwanda and that's cool but what if you were to excluded that film. What's ya take?

I like him in The Rat Pack and Traitor

The worst is probably Bulworth.

 

[HiphopRelated]

For best, have to watch it again, but remember enjoying "Traitor"

 

[Geek Nasty]

The Goat was great

 

[Lootpack]

He should’ve won the Oscar for Hotel Rwanda.

He should’ve won the Oscar for Hotel Rwanda.

Somehow I have never gotten around to watching this movie.
I'm adding it to my list now.

Looking at the 2005 Academy Awards, the winner for Best Actor went to Jamie Foxx for his portrayal in Ray.

You have a strong argument. Even without having seen Hotel Rwanda, most sites rate it as a better film than Ray (though to be fair, better film doesn't mean a better individual acting performance)

I'm interested in how the coli feels between the two.

Was Foxx better than Cheadle?

best
Devil in a blue Dress, kinda funny that you say a Denzel thread inspired this one. This one is su supporting but he steals the show
Talk to me. Great performance in an underrated movie, and is the lead
Out of Sight
Rebound: Legend of Earl Manigualt

Outright bad Don performances?....
not particularly Don's performance but it didn't like Bulworth. I've been meaning to rewatch it for years tho lol
put me on the long list of that didn't care for Crash, not necessarily Don's performance

Cheadle is a weird case because he's pretty much A List, but he never really had a run where he was a Lead or A1 in a cast.

He's like a Premium Character Actor.

It's a good place to be, but I wonder why he never got a shot to go "solo" so to speak?

 

[Ed MOTHEREFFING G]

Best for me is traffic. Dude was DRIVEN in that movie no pun intended.

 

[Mike Nasty]

I like him in Out of Sight. and thought he was wasted talent when he was on E.R.

 

[KingsOfKings]

Traitor probably best
Worst I can't say

 

[AnonymityX1000]

While I like Bulworth, his performance was not convincing.
But he has many great performances. Traffic or Hotel Rwanda are my favs

 

[daemonova]

For me it's either out of sight or devil in the blue dress, I'd have to look up a dud

 

[daemonova]

Ok, Brooklyn finest was a dud, but it wasn't his fault, sad part about it is, you're only getting old man cheadle from here on out, should left them yt women alone, pu$$y always make ya age faster
