Denzel Washington earned an Oscar nomination portraying anti-apartheid activist Steve Biko, yet the film overly focuses on the white journalist's perspective, overshadowing the intended message.
Washington's directorial debut, Antwone Fisher, effectively portrays the struggles of a troubled US Navy seaman through heartfelt and generous storytelling, using Fisher's own autobiography as a basis.
In 2016's Fences, Washington and Viola Davis delivered impeccable performances, recreating their Broadway roles, embodying the challenges faced by a garbage collector in 1950s Pittsburgh.
Though not a classic, The Magnificent Seven is an exhilarating remake, with Washington effectively stepping into the lead role, successfully balancing character presence against co-stars.
