Denzel Washington admits he made 'some real clunkers' in the '90s: 'I had responsibilities'


Denzel Washington has admitted that he's not proud of all his movies, especially the ones released in the '90s: 'After 'Malcolm X' I made some real clunkers. Look them up.'

Washington did indeed make several crime movies in the 1990s that didn't fare well with critics, including the 1995 sci-fi thriller Virtuosity(which received a score of 39 on Metacritic and 32 percent on Rotten Tomatoes), the 1998 terrorism drama The Siege(53 on Metacritic, 44 percent on Rotten Tomatoes), and the 1999 serial killer mystery The Bone Collector(45 on Metacritic, 29 percent on Rotten Tomatoes). Other films like 1993's The Pelican Brief and 1996's The Preacher's Wife weren't held in high regard with critics or audiences, either. Washington previously said he'd rewatched only one of his old movies after its initial release, and did so only because his son was a huge fan. "
