None, and I can offer proof:
The Taking of Pelham 123 (1974) the crime was committed without cell phones, but in the 2009 remake with Denzel Washington they had cell phones and still chose to commit the crime.
The Manchurian Candidate (1962) we have a political assassination without cell phones. But in the 2004 remake with Denzel Washington the cell phones do not stop the criminals from being criminals.
Man on Fire (1987) the crime is a kidnapping. Then in the 2004 remake (with Denzel) again we see the same kidnapping is still committed with cell phones.
You add cell phones and Denzel Washington to the situation, and seems like nothing much changes.
I see you brought your receipts. Here's your return in full.
The proof is in the pudding folks
Perhaps Denzel Washington is canceling out the effect of the cellphones?
Whatthefuck
Well, I mean, Denzel IS handsome, so that's a positive change, no?
edit: Alright, fine, showing my ignorance, we'd actually have to compare the relative handsomeness of Denzel, and the leads in the other three films before we could objectively say whether something changed, or not.

Fiction isn't proof, they fucking wrote it that way 😂
