Basic (2003)
Rashomon-style investigation of a Panama training accident. Basic is John McTiernan's 2003 American military thriller.
Actor: Samuel L. Jackson
Samuel L Jackson is by cumulative box office the highest-grossing actor in history, having appeared in an extraordinary number of films, and he began late, taking his breakthrough in Jungle Fever at forty-two after getting sober.
Pulp Fiction is the performance that fixed him, and the Ezekiel speech is delivered three times in the film with a different meaning each time, which is what makes the ending work.
He has been Nick Fury across more than a dozen Marvel entries, which is the connective tissue of the entire series.
He was nominated once, for Pulp Fiction, and has been open that he takes a great deal of work because he likes working. Jackie Brown and Unbreakable are the ones to argue for.
