The Dark Knight (2008)
I know what youre thinking.
That William Fichtner only appears for five minutes inThe Dark Knight.
So, why have I included it?
Christopher Nolan is a man whos known for his immaculately cast movies.
An angry, shotgun-toting Fichtner, at that.
Wimmer is better known as a writer, withLaw Abiding CitizenandSaltbeing among his more recent efforts.
(Wesley Snipes is one of the few that can pull that look off.)
Fichtner also draws attention to Jovovichs shortcomings as a dramatic actor, but that only heightens the enjoyment.
Equilibrium,on the other hand, is a film I absolutely adore.
Black Hawk Down (2001)
Normally, war movies dont tend to appeal to me a great deal.
But the main kick to be gained of Fichtners role comes from the tension between his character and Isaacs.
It makes for a great face-off, especially when considering both actors cinematic histories playing people less than friendly.
Fichtner also went on to make a third Jerry Bruckheimer film,Pearl Harbour.
Both are known for their naturally threatening air, while being able to utilize that to great comedic effect.
Its fantastic, and arguably Fichtners coolest scene to date.
What follows is a superbly unsettling and blackly comedic scene thats laden with crossed intentions and irony.
They effortlessly relish every second of their roles, stealing most of the film in the process.
