Roman J. Israel, Esq. (2017)

IMDb plot summary: Roman J. Israel, Esq., a driven, idealistic defense attorney, finds himself in a tumultuous series of events that lead to a crisis and the necessity for extreme action.
Directed by Dan Gilroy. Starring Denzel Washington, Colin Farrell, Carmen Ejogo, and Lynda Gravatt.

Denzel's performance is phenomenal here -- he really gets swallowed up in this character -- but overall the movie falls pretty flat.
