Starring the forever dynamic Denzel Washington as the down-on-his-luck Easy Rawlins, Devil In A Blue Dress rides along with him as he navigates 1948 Los Angeles in search of a missing woman. Next, we throw it back to a neo-noir from director Carl Franklin that remains one of his films that really deserves your time.
Though Beast doesn’t quite bite as hard as one would hope and can often suffer from some noticeably shoddy special effects, Elba elevates the entire experience through his completely committed performance alone.ĭirector: Carl Franklin | Run Time: 102 min | Genre: MysteryĬast: Denzel Washington, Tom Sizemore, Jennifer Beals, and Don Cheadle It never winks at the camera, instead taking itself seriously to a degree that is almost refreshing in a movie landscape defined by so-so quirks. The story doesn’t matter as much as the spectacle of it all that is built around Elba quite literally doing battle with the enormous being to determine who is the real apex predator. Playing a man who must protect his daughters from an oddly murderous rogue cat who attacks them while they are on vacation in South Africa, it delivers on the basics of what it has to offer in glorious fashion. We’ll forgive you if you haven’t yet seen the movie where Idris Elba fights a lion because we know you absolutely would have already if you knew such a masterpiece of cinema existed. Director: Baltasar Kormákur | Run Time: 93 min | Genre: Action, AdventureĬast: Idris Elba, Iyana Halley, Leah Sava Jeffries, and Sharlto Copley
