The Equalizer
{4.5/5} “I’ve done some bad things in my life, Nicolai… Things I’m not proud of. I promised someone I love very much that I would never go back to being that person… But for you, I’ll make an exception.”
The Equalizer, released in 2014
Robert works at a big box store but he used to be an extremely dangerous man. When a young woman he barely knows is beaten up, he decides to do something about it. Unfortunately the people he kills are followed by other people, including an extremely dangerous Russian. It’s a bit more violent than I usually watch. If you want to watch a bunch of bad guys get killed, this is the movie for you. Denzel Washington is mesmerizing. Directed by Antoine Fuqua.
A sequel is forthcoming.
I previously reviewed Fuqua’s movie Olympus Has Fallen.
