Fences stars Denzel Washington as Troy, an African American father, who struggles with race relations in the USA while trying to raise his family in the 1950s and coming to terms with the events of his life.
Denzel also directs himself, plus Viola Davis (Suicide Squad) and Mykelti Williamson (Forrest Gump) from a script written by August Wilson, based on their own play.
Little else is known about this film just yet, although his character is rather a bar-steward, and I still don’t think that Denzel Washington can act his way out of a paper bag, and this was brought home even more with his recent foray into a Western with The Magnificent Seven, but despite all that, for a change, Fences does look like a Denzel film worth watching.
Fences is built in the US on December 25th, but as of yet, we’ve not got a release date for construction to begin in the UK.
