Enhancing Mediocre Movies with Star Power

Denzel Washington, known for his memorable roles as military characters in films like "The Equalizer" series, "Courage Under Fire," "Glory," and "Crimson Tide," has expressed a desire for more such roles.

Denzel Washington, known for his memorable roles as military characters in films like “The Equalizer” series, “Courage Under Fire,” “Glory,” and “Crimson Tide,” has expressed a desire for more such roles. In an article, Blake Stilwell highlights five war movies that, although mediocre, would have been considerably enhanced with Washington’s presence, including some that would see a reunion with co-stars from his past films.

Key Points: 

  1. Denzel Washington once expressed a desire to have roles in classics like “Full Metal Jacket” and “Platoon,” but the author argues that his talents might better enhance lesser-known war films.
  2. “Behind Enemy Lines” could have benefited from Denzel’s presence, offering a potential reunion scene with “Crimson Tide” co-star Gene Hackman.
  3. The 1990s film “Navy SEALs,” while deemed forgettable, might have had a lasting impact had Denzel been added to its cast.
  4. “U-571,” a WWII movie about capturing the Nazis’ Enigma coded messaging system, would have likely reached the acclaim of “Das Boot” with Denzel on board.
  5. “The Hurt Locker,” despite its Academy Award for Best Picture, could have been more compelling with Washington, potentially drawing parallels to his role in “Training Day.”
