The bad guy tangling with Denzel Washington in the movie is played by John Lithgow, whose performance as a single-minded criminal is likely to leave you breathless. Back when the fourth season of Dexter came out, fans commented on how surprising it was to see a comedic actor like Lithgow embrace his inner serial killer. In Ricochet, he delivers that kind of chilling performance yet again, and he’s surrounded by awesome supporting actors, including everyone from Ice-T to Jesse Ventura to Whitney Houston (making her uncredited cinematic debut).
