Denzel coming for that 3rd Oscar. (Roman J. Israel, Esq. Trailer)

[Rayzah]

Weird movie, I didn’t like the ending. I don’t get what message they were aiming for.. so if

Spoiler

Roman was shot and killed why did it seem like everyone just went on with their lives. Why not show a funeral or something to confirm his death? Idk it just felt flat to me.

One thing you cant do is front on Denzel's acting....

Farrell's character filed the brief to continue his legacy as an activist, despite the events that preceded his death.

 

[King Sun]

Man this movie took a dark turn out of nowhere. The previews made it seem like it was going to be a happy go lucky movie.

loved it. one of the better movies i've seen lately. top 3 Denzel performance/movie. Truly heartbreaking scene when that feral animal mugged him . some of you are pretty vague with your complaints

Agreed on both. I havent really felt for a character in a long time. Like i was legit sad/worried for the guy. I wanted him to win so bad. Denzel killed this roll. Colin was the man to. Great movie

wasboring as shyt

 

[Methodical]

Finally watched it. It's a pretty decent film and I can get it why someone wouldn't like it cause of the casts I think Denzel just saved this film cause it was one of his best performance.

 

[Dominic Brehetto]

This was a bad film with a great performance and nothing else.

Have watched a few minutes here and there since it has been on HBO, holds up well. Even love the small noir moments with jazz playing and hand offs in the deep LA back alleys and street corners.

The scenes where he enjoys his little reprieve, his taste of the good life, from the sweat soaked Downtown slums, to the breezy Santa Monica beaches, with donuts and hibiscus tea.

"Coulda already done it....." the interrogation room scene was still tense, and you felt Roman just turn inside out when he realizes the possibility of imminent violence

Top 5 or maybe even 3 of 2017. Not quite as strong as Michael Clayton, but very good. It touched so many topics in a timely and deft way, from "being woke", to aging, to activism, money vs. morals, the internal conflict and guilt of material things....I think it was near brilliant.

Been meaning to see this for a while and just did. I must say a pretty average film outside of Denzel's performance, which was good but not outstanding in my opinion.

I think the only glaring criticism I have is how everybody knew he took the reward. I mean sure they explain it in the film but you mean to tell me that NOBODY else would have known where the shooter was hiding and sold him out? Especially for a $100k reward?

5.5 / 10 for me.

 

[MenacingMonk]

This is a film where the actor/character carried it. The story was fine, but it woulda probably been weak if it wasn’t for Denzel. The lead female wasn’t necessary. I get she was there to “help” Denzel’s character return to who he was, but they could’ve did it without her.

 

[Renegade47]

boy this movie was ass

 

[Zero]

Movie was trash stop bullshytting. Denzel was great but the writing and pacing was dreadful

Perfect summary. Not sure why this was bumped.

Disappointing movie

Denzel usually has so much charisma but his performance was here
