The age of miracles isn't over! That this guy managed to die of natural causes at such an old age is nothing less than miraculous.
Great movie btw! Denzel and Russell had nice chemistry.

DENZEL AND RIDLEY REALLY APPLIED A GLOSSY LOVABLE REPUTATION TO A MAN WHO DID NOT HAVE ONE.💀
“I do this real moron thing, and it's called thinking. And apparently I'm not a very good American because I like to form my own opinions.”
