The
Equalizer 8/10
This
movie is a hard rated R! Just gotta put that out there. Oh, and some
spoilers. I wasn't exactly dying to see this movie. I knew that the
old series was called The Equalizer and my Grandmama watched it along
with a bunch of other shows about old people killing murderers or
looking to solve them. So going in all I knew was that Denzel Washington was in it and it was directed by the guy that did Training
Day which is one of my favorite movies. So fuck it. I wanted to see
what would happen.
This
is a damned good movie. It helped fill that straight up action movie
void that has been missing this summer. There has been a lot of
action movies the last few months that had lots of explosions but
didn't quite deliver. This movie did. Denzel plays Robert “Bob”
McCall who is a retired guy from black ops. This story takes place in
Boston where his life is very plain. He works at a huge hardware
store and goes home and to a nearby diner where he keeps things
simple to the point of being OCD.
