10. American Gangster
He may not have received as much critical acclaim for his portrayal of Frank Lucas in American Gangster, but Washington put on yet another dramatic and jaw-dropping performance in this 2007 film. As the heroin kingpin, Washington’s character was detained and investigated by Richard “Richie” Roberts (Russel Crowe) for smuggling drugs to the U.S. through Vietnamese war planes. His street smarts were undeniable, and as much as you wanted to root for the good guys, you couldn’t help but gravitate towards Washington’s badass attitude and tough demeanor.
