Another said: "Somehow that's two John David Washington movies in a row that left me a bit confused. #Beckett and #Tenet."
John David Washington spoke about his role in the action movie ahead of its release. He told Deadline: "When you have a great cast, a lot of the time you don't have to think about making it work, you listen to the talent you're surrounded by and react.
"The other actors were so good I had to be on my A-game the whole time. As a performer, I love that, it's one of the reasons I love doing what I get to do, seeing what other people bring and how they approach the work. It was the ultimate challenge to keep up with those performances."
