In this film, Denzel and A$AP go toe-to-toe. What\u2019s interesting is, even before I got involved with this film, I always thought that A$AP looked like he could be Denzel\u2019s son. There\u2019s a big resemblance. So when you see it on the screen, it adds an element of father and son.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He reiterated: \u201cDon\u2019t sleep on A$AP.
