Dead Presidents
(1995)Veterans in many films have turned to lives of crime, from James Cagney and Humphrey Bogart in The Roaring Twenties to the Rat Pack in the original Ocean's Eleven. But the chilling thriller Dead Presidents is one of the few films to focus specifically on African-American veterans. The antihero here is Anthony (Crash's Larenz Tate, shown), whose life in the South Bronx is as much a soul-deadening nightmare as his stint in Vietnam. Even before he and his crew don whiteface makeup to execute an armored car heist, he's already a walking ghost.
