Some films are made purely for entertainment while some speak to a deep part of us, touching on themes of morality and social justice. Roman J. Israel Esq. (2017) , a not-so-recent thriller/legal drama featuring Denzel Washington, falls into the latter category. Washington has long distinguished himself as a skilled and compelling actor, and his movies do make sense, if I may say so. His forte is often crime thrille…More

As it turns out, it is complete fiction. It is a decent film and Denzel Washinton films tend to be, but upon realizing that there isn't an ounce of real life in the movie, it kind of changed my overall opinion. sou…More

*Roman J. Israel Esq.* is the latest film from writer/director Dan Gilroy. Gilroy's dual role debut was his film *Nightcrawler* which was one of the best films I saw in 2014. The low IMDb scores (6.3) had me a little bit worried about this film, but it was a bit better than those scores would lead you to believe. It was no *Nightcrawler*, however. Roman (Denzel Washington) is a Los Angeles lawyer with an activist he…More
