Storyline
In The Equalizer, Denzel Washington plays McCall, a man who believes he has put his mysterious past behind him and dedicated himself to beginning a new, quiet life. But when McCall meets Teri (Chloë Grace Moretz), a young girl under the control of ultra-violent Russian gangsters, he can't stand idly by - he has to help her. Armed with hidden skills that allow him to serve vengeance against anyone who would brutalize the helpless, McCall comes out of his self-imposed retirement and finds his desire for justice reawakened. If someone has a problem, if the odds are stacked against them, if they have nowhere else to turn, McCall will help. He is The Equalizer.Reviews
Action, drama, humor,
Denzel can due it all. Based on the TV show, Denzel Washington is yet
another old man, similar to Pierce Bronson in the November Man, trying
to prove he's still got it by playing a mysterious dude who works at a
Megamart who decides to help a young hooker who got beat up pretty badly
and ends up taking down some major hitters in the Russian Mafia, then
becomes a target for the main boss.
The movie had a quiet tone similar to Denzel and Director Antoine Fuqua's last flick, Training Day, but Denzel's performance in this is far more Oscar worthy. Denzel still brings passion to movies in an age were other actors like him are phoning it in just for the pay check, and basically that's what makes the movie. Watching Denzel on screen.
