with a man wearing a wire
Asma clever nonchalant practical one Fox
delivers a satisfying performance as an
undercover police detective just trying
to make the grade would have come to
handle audition for business business
audience for us critics may have given
the film mixed reviews but Miami Vice is
still one of Michael Mann’s biggest
commercial successes

Staff Sergeant sex I’m with surveillance
and target acquisition stay number eight
Staff Sergeant Sykes jarhead in the
world of the US Marine Corps Fox plays a
no-nonsense staff sergeant and lifer
whose devotion to the American armed
forces is absolute one day say yea
though I walk through the valley of the
shadow of death I will fear no evil
because I am the baddest motherfucker in
the goddamn Valley yes he captures the
essence of military life with the roll
radiating an air of quiet determination
and discipline whose watch was bet suave
but says you don’t know how to handle
responsibility we are demoting you you

of a man who has sacrificed a normal
life for his country even earned him a
nomination for a black movie award have
a little party to live off the dress the
shit is over mother you did not
number seven Drew bundini brown I’ll
leave some people call me fast black
some call me
gave cigarette wrappers in my power for
seven years
in this biopic about heavyweight boxing
champion Muhammad Ali Fox plays Ali’s
corner man and trainer though the film’s
main focus is its titular character it
wouldn’t be what it is without its
supporting cast God don’t care about you
don’t care about me and all everything
we don’t mean nothing he don’t know us
we be that’s the only thing he did as
junkie drew bundini brown fox manages to
shine through with his solid and
engaging effort that’s Casey
like a butterfly sting like a bee
number six Nathaniel Ayers the soloist
you only got two strings all I’m gonna
do is play music and here’s a problem
that I’m having right here this one’s
gone this was dog this little ones out
of commission Fox stretches his acting
muscles in this drama based on the true
story of Nathaniel Ayers I’m not gonna
have this nastiness in this tunnel this
degradation playing a musician who
becomes homeless after developing
schizophrenia Fox takes on the daunting
challenge of having to switch in and out
of moods that range from quiet lethargy
to paranoid delusion thanks to his
strong performance we get an unnerving
sense of someone struggling to stay sane
yet who has long since worn off
civilized society I love mr. Steve Lopez
flying around I love God I love you
number five steamin Willie Beamen any
given Sunday in this American drama Fox
once again showcases his talent for
layered performances coaching I’m
playing like shit I play like myself oh
come on you’re not play this game you
play this game your whole life as Willie
Beamen he plays a third stringer
quarterback who gets a shot at glory
when his to start teammates are injured
the result is a slippery slope from
self-doubting rookie to obnoxious
superstar all you do is talk at me man
so I’m gonna stay Who I am steaming
Willie Beamen
at the time I gotta left I’m a play my
way
Willie’s inflated ego begins to take its
toll on the rest of the team and their
hard-boiled coach which allows us to
watch him on his journey of
self-realization did you not like the
jambalaya’s
because what should have attention to
Milo why do you think I’ve been throwing
up every you know I thought that you
know that I get the hell out there
witness number four Curtis Taylor jr.
Dreamgirls
so gospel R&B jazz blues everything else
in the man is grad for us cuz it’s got
to be a better way for us to get our
music to a broader audience Fox shows
off his singing talents as a wheeler and
dealer named Curtis Taylor jr. in this
musical drama when I first saw you I
said oh man I said all my at first
likeable enough Fox’s slick and
ambitious record producer slowly sours
the audience with a ruthless and often
downright mean disregard for the people
around him
Oh act like you don’t know what this is
about
screaming everybody if you stop bringing
us down get back there and the actor
makes this smooth transition from
lovable to intolerable with masterful
ease Dana you know my children sing lead
because your voice there’s no
personality no depth except for what
happened number three max do Roche
collateral I go on a vacation old huh
how often a dozen times a day my famous
fat
now these out no matter where he goes
Fox seems to get caught up in all kinds
of exciting situations in collateral
these max a put upon daydreaming cabbie
who’s just trying to finish his day
I think these plans are put on hold when
Tom Cruise’s cold-blooded assassin gets
in at the last minute
and demands to be driven to each of his
marks who was he what do you care
have you ever heard of Rwanda yes I know
we’re one tens of thousands kill before
sundown nobody’s killed people that fast
since Nagasaki and Hiroshima did you bat
an eye max viewers really get the sense
that Fox is a down to earth Joe who’s
trying to stay alive in extreme
circumstances I’m not trying to piss you
off a nothing like that but I can’t do
this I can’t drive you around where you
already killing people and etic it ain’t
my job tonight it is his names came
he number two Django Freeman Django
Unchained in this dream team
collaboration Fox stars opposite
Christoph vaults and Leonardo DiCaprio
the Quentin Tarantino helmed Western has
the actor playing a slave turned bounty
hunter searching for his lost love
what’s your plan after that by my wife
by freedom very much a man of few words
Django has Fox exuding an imposing
coolness that pervades every scene like
the way you die boy
meanwhile Django’s willingness to learn
and his readiness for violence
captivates audiences before we unveil
our top pick here are a few honorable
mentions no no no he is a professional
he’s just used to dealing with chill
hours and poodles it’s the dog
this unprofessional
that’s your primary concern will be the
investigation and you would be mistaken
I think this is one of those something
happens does his head comes off kind of
deals you are babysitting I got a
babysitter
yeah who’s running the investigation
we’re done here we have a confession hmm
oh you do on tape see in our profession
we consider that a slam dunk oh really
I don’t think so let’s think back what
did I say I got it why don’t you kill
each other’s bosses
that’s actually a good idea not bad yeah
yeah like Hitchcock’s strangers on a
train right I was all out so I’ll use
the coffee that you guys brought oh boy
oh don’t forget it’s his dad by some
other cop dude Oh papa

can haul your asses back down south yeah
smoke some of this number one Ray
Charles ray hey no tobacco man in this
masterful biopic Fox plays legendary
soul singer Ray Charles Robinson best is
it when I yeah what’s the spell
backwards
haha come on man why don’t you give me
something definite God no name his
performance not only manages to capture
the essence of Charles magnetic
character but also injects a poignant
sense of tragedy into the singer’s
troubled and often troubling life I
guess you want charity since that
regular you as a seller
the result is an emotional roller
coaster with an unavoidable conclusion
and an oscar-worthy performance what are
some things you not understood make me
understand ray maybe when I walk out
that door I walk out alone in the dark
I’m trying to do something that nobody
ever done in music and business but I
