Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for The Dissolve (1,478) on 24 Sep 2014

Say this for The Equalizer: It gets the job done, and that job, to quote A Clockwork Orange, is delivering a little of the old ultra-violence…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Brad Keefe (343) for Columbus Alive (355) on 24 Sep 2014

The end result is a weird mishmash that is too corny to be a good vengeance drama and too serious to be a good popcorn flick…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Christopher Gray (138) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 24 Sep 2014

All this should build up to a moderately engaging battle of wits, but Richard Wenk's script has little interest in wit and no capacity for psychology…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Ann Hornaday (1,919) for Washington Post (9,851) on 24 Sep 2014

For all of The Equalizer’s overkill, Washington retains an admirable air of seriousness, embodying McCall as a believable figure of purity…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Tom Meek (408) for Paste Magazine (2,906) on 24 Sep 2014

On the whole, The Equalizer never finds any sense of confluence, but in parts it can be thrilling, even rapturously macabre…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for Blu-ray.com (2,093) on 24 Sep 2014

An unpleasant cartoon; another offering of gratuitous behavior from Fuqua, while Washington slowly but surely reduces his once peerless charisma…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Daniel Eagan (552) for Film Journal International (5,095) on 24 Sep 2014

Fresh paint can't disguise the shaky structure underneath The Equalizer, a routine spy vigilante thriller…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Matt Pais (1,519) for RedEye (906) on 24 Sep 2014

Though Robert's really never in trouble, the movie has a fair amount of suspense, with Fuqua allowing death to linger in the shadows…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Soren Anderson (264) for Seattle Times (3,524) on 24 Sep 2014

The line separating the bad guys from the good is almost nonexistent…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Cary Darling (452) for Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com (553) on 24 Sep 2014

Just having Washington in the title role elevates the film from a tired rerun - complete with (yawn) brutal Russian mobsters - to a rousing,…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Soren Andersen (496) for Seattle Times (3,524) on 24 Sep 2014

The line separating the bad guys from the good is almost nonexistent…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Thomas Derwin (25) for FILMINK (Australia) (1,405) on 24 Sep 2014

Unfortunately, by the time the final act rolls around, there's little more left on Fuqua's mind than a grisly, hardware store-sponsored cops…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Louis Black (103) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 23 Sep 2014

Washington is always superb when playing characters with a surface calm, but a boiling-over interior…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Roger Moore (6,008) for McClatchy-Tribune News Service (291) on 23 Sep 2014

Through it all, Washington’s stillness is emphasized, so much so that the film slows down just to make sure we appreciate the presence and…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 23 Sep 2014

It’s just more joyless junk, another title to bury at the bottom of Fuqua’s resume…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Stefan Pape (613) for HeyUGuys (1,461) on 23 Sep 2014

While affectionate in its conventionality, this film grows absurd and nonsensical, saved from being a complete disaster only by the engaging,…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Joe Mcgovern (126) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 23 Sep 2014

It's the sign of an empty, depressing experience when the only tension is over Bob's choice to use a power drill or a weed whacker for his next kill…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Tony Hicks (74) for San Jose Mercury News (757) on 23 Sep 2014

The movie is what it is: Good guy vs. bad guy, let's see who wins…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Julian Roman (454) for MovieWeb (460) on 23 Sep 2014

The Equalizer is a serious action film led by Hollywood's best leading actor…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Michael Nordine (446) for Willamette Week (516) on 23 Sep 2014
