A Tribute To The Five Iconic Film Collaborations Between Tony Scott and Denzel Washington.
On August 19th, 2012 the world lost one of its most talented and prolific action film directors. He has given us so many classic action flicks such as Beverly Hills Cop 2 and Man On Fire as well as many others that have given me plenty of joy and thrills over the years. But it seems like Scott worked the most with and certainly the best with that iconic Denzel. Both have done some of their best work together so here I list out the five great films collabs between two masters at work that did some of their most masterful work together.
5. The Taking of Pelham 123 (Remake) 2009.
A remake of the classic 1974 Walter Matthau\Robert Shaw film, that while not coming close to the greatness of its predecessor, still gives all the thrills and chills throughout with a stellar ensemble cast that includes Denzel, John Travolta, John Turturro and James Gandolfini. With epic direction from Mr. Scott and a stellar lead performance from Denzel, this remake became a very solid collab between the two masters at work.
