Fences Official Trailer #1 (2016) Denzel Washington, Viola Davis
on a very rainy day here in SoCal my wife and I caught this movie this afternoon.
In one word this movie is "fabulous"
If Viola Davis doesn't win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress this year IMO then something is wrong with the academy. IMO she is one of the best actors in Hollywood.
Cast: Mark Falvo, Toussaint Abessolo, Viola Davis, Stephen Henderson, Jovan Adepo, Denzel Washington, Mykelti Williamson, Saniyya Sidney, Russell Hornsby, Christopher Mele, Leslie Boone, Jason Silvis
Director: Denzel Washington
Writer: August Wilson
Rating: PG-13
Running Time: 133 min.
Synopsis:
Troy Maxson (Denzel Washington) makes his living as a sanitation worker in 1950s Pittsburgh. Maxson once dreamed of becoming a professional baseball player, but was deemed too old when the major leagues began admitting black athletes. Bitter over his missed opportunity, Troy creates further tension in his family when he squashes his son's (Jovan Adepo) chance to meet a college football recruiter
Based on the play this is filmed as if it were a play with but a few actors and only a few different scenes.
Denzel was wonderful and very powerful in his role as were all the other actors but IMO the star of this film is Viola Davis.
95% on Rotten Tomatoes and 77% on MRQE.com
Highly recommended and two thumbs' up....way, way up
Denzel not only starred in but also directed and produced the film. We loved it
