Watch it tonight if you want powerful, character-driven drama with stellar performances—this is the kind of film that sticks with you. The scores are solid across the board, and Denzel Washington delivers a masterclass in playing a man at war with himself, though fair warning: it's heavy and stagey, not a crowd-pleaser.

Director: Denzel Washington
