Rating: 3/5 stars
Verdict: "For Queen and Country" is harshly judged by history. It was a flop at the box office and critically panned. It's almost impossible to stream online. And yet, nearly 40 years later, its examination of Margaret Thatcher's England is inarguably one worthy of your time, despite its flawed performances.
Welcome to the Denzel Watchathon; this week's movie is "For Queen and Country." For those of you new to this project, I was inspired by an X (Twitter) post by The New York Times senior staff writer Brooklyn White-Grier, which stated that you could watch one of Denzel's 52 movies every week of 2026 without needing to repeat a movie. So I'm doing exactly that, in chronological order, starting with "Carbon Copy." Now, in week five of my year-long movie marathon, I've arrived at what might be Denzel's most underrated movie ever.
