I *need* to make this post because NOONE seems to know about nor mention the best movie of all time – wherein the lovable John Lithgow duct tapes phone book armor to himself and gores people in prison with a makeshift spear-shiv.

I can’t believe it, #Ricochet (1991) lived up to it’s hype and is the “Friday Night Movie” in every sense of the phrase!
It’s funny, it’s thrilling and it’s entertaining for every second its on. Plus, Denzel Washington is at his most unhinged against a wild John Lithgow. pic.twitter.com/960o8mY0xz

Even after all these years…John Lithgow still haunts my dreams and that’s how good his acting was in #Ricochet.It’s definitely not easy to outshine in a movie starring Denzel Washington, isn’t it ?? JOHN was as good as Mr.Hopkins was in #TheSilenceoftheLambs
