There are a few actors whose presence in a movie causes critics' faces to light up with enthusiasm. Gene Hackman was one such actor. The Hollywood legend appeared in over 80 movies. Out of these, only 24 have rotten scores on Rotten Tomatoes. That’s an impressive level of critical acclaim and it's hardly surprising. The actor oozed talent, winning two Oscars, two British Academy Film Awards, and four Golden Globes during his career.
