The Equalizer - This is your typical “retired super-agent/soldier” revenge flick, in the same vein as Taken and Man on Fire, but with a much less-compelling motive than the others. I thought the action sequences were very well done though, and Denzel is great in these roles (still, somehow, at 60 years old). The action does get a little too over-the-top towards the end, even bordering on campy, with more action movie tropes than you can shake a slow-motion-walk-away-from-an-explosion at.
Despite that, it’s still an entertaining movie, so it’s worth a rent from Xbox video or Amazon or whatever rental service you use.[/quote]
Agree on all accounts, although the scene in the big box hardware store had me thinking of TN. I think the relationship between Denzel and the girl was derivative of Jean Reno and Natalie Portman in The Professional.
