If we’re really being honest, I’d admit that I’m going to watch a Denzel Washington film, no matter what it’s about. It’s already been proven with?Unstoppable?(I don’t watch films about trains),?Flight?(planes are worse than trains), and?Fences?(I’m just not into films where a play is translated onto the cinema screen).
