Stoic. Obsessive. Desperate. Denzel’s take on Army sergeant Nat Serling was impactful. Serling, a proud military man who is haunted by his past, must investigate whether Karen Walden (played by Meg Ryan) should receive the Medal of Honor. Denzel carries the movie throughout alongside Ryan. In a constant battle with himself, Denzel expertly balances his own problems with his part in determining the truth in Walden’s story.
