What are the two “fucking awful” movies Anthony Mackie refuses to talk about?

Anthony Mackie once said he had two films on his CV that he considered “fucking awful”, but declined to identify them. The article argues that one was probably *Bolden*, while stressing that its proposed second film is uncertain.

Mackie filmed *Bolden* in 2007, but extensive reshoots nearly cost him his role in *The Hurt Locker* and the film was eventually released in 2019. In 2025, he criticised its director and called the film “trash”. The article speculates that *The Man*, a 2005 buddy comedy, might be the other film, linking that possibility to Mackie’s comments about wanting humanity in the roles he chooses; it does not establish this as fact.
