Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Chris Klimek (121) for NPR (1,713) on 25 Sep 2014

It scrapes together two gripping, closely observed acts before lobotomizing itself for an over-the-top final third that tips the needle from…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Rob Vaux (1,125) for Mania.com (396) on 25 Sep 2014

Solid revenge porn: the kind that lets you be a grown-up in the most childish way possible. That's not a criticism…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Dave White (762) for Movies.com (1,002) on 25 Sep 2014

[He] equalizes so much that there's not enough screen to show you all of his equalizing…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 25 Sep 2014

The star makes the film something like a guilty pleasure, but he and touches like the film-opening Mark Twain quotation form little more than…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By John Serba (472) for MLive.com (475) on 25 Sep 2014

Entertaining, and occasionally rousing within (its) limitations, but we're nagged by the idea that it could have been more substantial…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Staci Layne Wilson (667) for StaciWilson.com (64) on 25 Sep 2014

The movie is overly long, and certainly overly-violent in contrast to its sometimes preachy do-right earnestness, but it's worth a look…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Kurt Loder (858) for Reason Online (497) on 25 Sep 2014

Marton Csokas' sadistic mobster, with his cold eyes and menacing sneer, is terrifically despicable…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Travis Hopson (923) for Examiner.com (1,617) on 25 Sep 2014

Even if there aren't many surprises The Equalizer is one kick-ass film from start to finish…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Richard Roeper (2,737) for Chicago Sun-Times (7,580) on 25 Sep 2014

The Equalizer features some gruesomely creative violence, but it’s equally memorable for the small, gritty moments set in that diner, or…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Rob Thomas (1,118) for Madison Movie (219) on 25 Sep 2014

By the time we see Washington walking towards the camera in slo-mo as a fireball erupts behind him, you almost feel bad for him…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By David Edwards (979) for Daily Mirror (UK) (1,133) on 25 Sep 2014

An absurdly violent but humourless and surprisingly dull action thriller…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Jeremy Aspinall (70) for Radio Times (2,421) on 25 Sep 2014

Washington has the stellar charisma and mobility (unlike the portlier Woodward) to keep total disbelief from the door…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 25 Sep 2014

Director Anton Fuqua has jettisoned almost everything related to the TV series except the title, the main character's name, and the bare-bones…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Steve Persall (1,105) for Tampa Bay Times (1,287) on 25 Sep 2014

It's easy to see why neither Home Depot nor Lowe's chose to go the product placement route. Too many cleanups in the power tool department…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Jonathan W. Hickman (551) for Daily Film Fix (355) on 25 Sep 2014

Director Fuqua understands that the best special effect in the film is his gifted actors' ability to draw us in, scare us, and make us care…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Steven Rea (1,872) for Philadelphia Inquirer (3,920) on 25 Sep 2014

The Equalizer, which reteams Washington with his Training Day director, Fuqua, is an origin story, like the birth of Batman, or Daredevil…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Steve Crum (868) for Video-Reviewmaster.com (514) on 25 Sep 2014

Honestly, it is reminiscent of Bruce Banner becoming enraged and turning into The Hulk…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Lou Lumenick (2,103) for New York Post (6,650) on 25 Sep 2014

There’s nothing hugely original about the script by Richard Wenk (who cowrote “Expendables 2” with Sylvester Stallone), but Washington…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Jim Schembri (1,298) for 3AW (1,025) on 25 Sep 2014

The indomitable Denzel Washington brings the everyday grit and the no-nonsense sense of right that has become his signature to this full-blooded,…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 25 Sep 2014

This is a kid’s fantasy of how to be bigger and badder than anybody else. As for Washington, no doubt he now has his very own franchise…
