Antoine Fuqua Movies, Ranked

10 films, ranked on my own star ratings by Arwin Edward Bagaslao. Updated 2026-10-12.

My Antoine Fuqua ranking from watched films: corrupt cops, justice missions, sweaty moral pressure, and men processing trauma through bullets, strategy, and very little therapy. Ranked by stars first, then by tension, rewatch pull, action c

1. 1
   Training Day (2001)

   ★★★★★

   What a day! I spent most of Training Day confused about what the hell was actually happening, which somehow made the experience even better because I felt exactly like…

2. 2
   The Equalizer (2014)

   ★★★★½

   Sherlock’s brain, Batman’s moral code, John Wick’s brutality, and John McClane’s DIY skills walk into a hardware store.

3. 3
   King Arthur (2004)

   ★★★★½

   Epic in all proportions. The scale, script, grand heroic musical score, sets, stacked cast, painterly cinematography, and tense direction all work together incredibly…

4. 4
   Olympus Has Fallen (2013)

   ★★★★
5. 5
   The Equalizer 2 (2018)

   ★★★★

6. 6
   Shooter (2007)

   ★★★★

   Another banger from Antoine Fuqua. If I did not see the opening credits, I would honestly think this was directed by Tony Scott because of the color and overall…

7. 7
   Michael (2026)

   ★★★½

   The film has this golden and brownish cinematic color palette that gives it a warm feeling.

8. 8
   The Equalizer 3 (2023)

   ★★★

   Best opening scene in the series. It immediately feels more cinematic, and the darker, old school brown color grading gives the film a different identity from the first…

9. 9
   The Guilty (2021)

   ★★★
10. 10
    The Magnificent Seven (2016)

    ★★½

    While watching this, it really reminds me a lot of Seven Samurai (1954).
