The Equalizer (2014) is a action thriller genre movie based on the television series on the same name staring Denzel Washington, Marton Csokas, Chloe Grace Moretz, David Harbour, Haley Bennett, Bill Pullman and Melissa Leo.
The plot unveils introducing Robert McCall a retired black ops working in a hardware store having a quiet life. He has given a promise to his late wife he will not go back to his old life, yet when his friend a young girl was beaten by a Russian mob member he involves in a series of fights with them. McCall learns that he can continue to help the desperate people in need and identify himself as 'The Equalizer'.
I thought it would be a lone ranger movie that does not carry any authenticity. But then with the Denzel Washington charisma it could not go wrong. Even the other characters, specially the sociopath Russian fixer also deliver a strong performance. And Denzel Washington has given some cheeky one lines throughout the movie only to find that in some scenes it sound s off the storyline.
One negative aspect of this movie is that it carries higher level of violence. Even the fighting and killing scenes are shown in a slow motion that almost looks creepy to the audience. And the length of the movie is longer than the usual time, so the viewers find many dull and unexciting moments.
Nevertheless The Equalizer is a entertaining movie one will not regret watching. Thanks to Nuffnang for providing the premiere tickets.
