Pitch Black/Chronicles of Riddick
David’s character, the deeply religious Abu al-Walid, gets caught up in the events of Pitch Black while trying to get to New Mecca; he survives and is one of few non-Vin Diesel characters from the first film to appear in the sequel… which he does not survive. David in an action-movie context is always good; David in a sci-fi action action-movie context is even better, even when his character unfortunately dies in the first act.
