Over the course of his career, Anthony Mackie has become a household name, stealing scenes in everything from period dramas to romantic films to action blockbusters.
His latest high-octane adventure is in Outside the Wire, which features him playing a cyborg soldier tracking down a terrorist.
Set in a war-torn country, the film is filled with high-tension action sequences, jaw-dropping twists, and some powerful statements about the perpetuity of international conflicts.
Mackie is a stand-out in the film, but that's hardly surprising. Here's a look back at some of the most memorable film scenes from Anthony Mackie's career.
It's not uncommon for a good sports biopic to make its audience emotional, but that's especially true with We Are Marshall, McG's 2006 drama that follows the aftermath of the 1970 plane crash that claimed the lives of most of Marshall University's Thundering Herd football team, along with the coaches and staff. The film features Mackie as student athlete Nate Ruffin, who leads the players who were not aboard the fateful flight to fill out a new team, with incoming head coach Jack Lengyel.
Despite Nate's sense of resolve, he still suffers both physically and emotionally, particularly after sustaining a serious injury during a game. In one unforgettable encounter, Coach Lengyel confronts Nate about his injury, and Nate insists he's well enough to play.
Even more affecting is the moment when he breaks down and confides to his coach that he is experiencing survivor's guilt. Mackie's delivery of his lines is absolutely gut-wrenching.
