Samuel L Jackson is the elegantly besuited, cane-twirling, fourth-wall-breaking narrator in Spike Lee’s Chi-Raq (pronounced “shy-rack”), set in the city of Chicago, where the homicide rate has exceeded the US death toll in Iraq. It is a twist on Aristophanes’s Lysistrata, about one woman’s mission to end the Peloponnesian war with a sex strike. Tey...
So often, Jackson’s roles are flavoured by violence or cynicism or black comedy, but there is a strong streak of idealism in his performing identity. So it proves in this social-issue thriller named after the California police code for homicide. Jackson plays Trevor, a dedicated teacher who works in a tough New York school, survives a horrendous st...
Jackson is often regarded as quite the snappy dresser, but sadly there was nothing snappy about the way he dressed for his big cameo in Martin Scorsese’s celebrated gangster film – in loose vest and underpants. He plays minor hoodlum “Stacks” Edwards, who had, as they say, one job. For the Lufthansa robbery run by Henry (Ray Liotta) and Jimmy the G...
“Hold on to your butts!” Jackson has another celebrated cameo as Ray Arnold, the droll engineer in charge of Jurassic Park’s automated rides. His famous line is uttered when he has to shut everything down and start it up again when a hurricane strikes, dinosaurs are at large and the park’s systems have been sabotaged by Wayne Knight’s slobbish and ...
One of Jackson’s strangest and yet somehow most elegant performances, treasured by his fans. He is a farmer and retired blues musician significantly named Lazarus, who is dying of loneliness. One day, he finds a beautiful young woman called Rae, played by Christina Ricci, who has been beaten and left unconscious by the road by local folk, apparentl...
The third Die Hard movie featuring the tough cop John McClane, this paired Jackson with Bruce Willis for a scary confrontation with another creepy German villain played by a Brit thesp. Jeremy Irons is Simon, the brother of the German played by Alan Rickman whom Willis was up against in the first film. Crazy-evil genius Simon places bombs all over ...
A grandstanding performance here from Jackson in this John Grisham legal thriller set in the US south. He plays Carl Lee Hailey, the regular guy whose 10-year-old daughter is raped by two racist thugs. Hailey guns down the culprits while they are on their way to a hearing, spraying them with bullets, and in doing so gravely injures a nearby white d...
Quentin Tarantino’s movie is a chamber piece, set mostly in a confined space and featuring intimidating guys adept in the implied violence of talk. It is set just after the civil war, among bounty hunters who bring in wanted felons, dead or alive. One of these is the unionist veteran Major Marquis Warren, sumptuously played by Jackson, who has a co...
If there is one emotion Jackson can convey on screen, it is rage – and that is what he delivers in this Roger Michell drama, the title of which interestingly prefigures the “stay in your lane” jibe from many a social-media row. Ben Affleck plays Gavin, an obnoxious yuppie lawyer who gets into a fender-bender situation with Doyle, Jackson’s recoveri...
Another of the big 90s action movies that featured Jackson paired with a white character, in this case the apparently respectable wife and mother Samantha, played by Geena Davis. She has built a happy life with her partner and child eight years after being found unconscious with no memory. But random events bring it all back: she used to be in a ve...
