DENZEL!

I love everything Denzel has played in movies.   He is a master at delivering leading roles, skillfully pulling the watcher right into his performance.

A friend recommended this 2007 film, The Great Debaters, and it was fabulous.   A true story, historical drama that Denzel directed, lends itself to the social experience in Texas during the Great Depression in the 1930's.    The leading characters give a top notch performance.  
It is totally worth watching.
