Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Marshall Fine (1,011) for Hollywood & Fine (854) on 23 Sep 2014

A smarter, more disciplined version of Man on Fire...fast and economic .. not flashy - but it's effective…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Alan Scherstuhl (679) for Village Voice (8,525) on 22 Sep 2014

Fuqua steadily parades his big moments, and the movie works as unhinged spectacle. As a thriller it's less certain…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Kirk Honeycutt (1,481) for honeycuttshollywood.com (375) on 22 Sep 2014

Initially intriguing but increasingly numbing and repetitive, an interesting character study gives way to a routine actioner…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Joshua Rothkopf (1,058) for Time Out (7,510) on 22 Sep 2014

The Equalizer is a stone-dumb movie, unwilling to allow Washington even a hint of uniqueness (apart from the usual silverware straightening…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Will Leitch (411) for Deadspin (356) on 22 Sep 2014

The Equalizer is so intent on kicking off a series of movies - giving Washington the franchise anchor that, strangely, he has never had (unless…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 22 Sep 2014

Yet another artifact of the long stagnation of Hollywood, which has been remaking the same movies over and over and over again for the past 30 years…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Jocelyn Noveck (253) for Associated Press (1,685) on 22 Sep 2014

The Equalizer grows tiresome and formulaic…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Andy Lea (545) for Daily Star (403) on 22 Sep 2014

The parts for this vigilante flick may have come off the shelf but Fuqua has fashioned them into one of the slickest action flicks of the year…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Matthew Pejkovic (770) for Matt's Movie Reviews (913) on 22 Sep 2014

A cold, cynical exercise in violence. One would think that an actor of Denzel Washington's stature would be above such things…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Kim Newman (791) for Empire (3,446) on 21 Sep 2014

Though overstretched and a trifle ponderous, this is a solidly acceptable star vehicle with more than enough righteous vengeance for an evening…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By James Mottram (656) for The List (2,018) on 21 Sep 2014

Fuqua expertly cranks up the tension, while conveniently overlooking any pesky moral issues that McCall's behaviour raises…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Kam Williams (1,272) for Baret News (418) on 21 Sep 2014

Denzel is even better here than in his Oscar-winning collaboration with Antoine Fuqua for Training Day…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Stella Papamichael (611) for Digital Spy (1,161) on 20 Sep 2014

Better to think of it as a Denzel Washington movie, a so-so effort that would have been a lot slicker if his old cohort Tony Scott had been…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Louise Keller (804) for Urban Cinefile (2,850) on 18 Sep 2014

The pensive, brooding calm of an in-form Denzel Washington as the man who has to do what he does - because he can - alleviates this gritty…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Paul Macinnes (19) for The Guardian (2,969) on 08 Sep 2014

Denzel is so cool, so made of pure nails he can make even the most preposterous action scene feel thrilling…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Drew Mcweeny (622) for HitFix (861) on 07 Sep 2014

a dull film, and when you're making a giant action movie franchise about a former intelligence agent…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Joshua Starnes (554) for ComingSoon.net (2,031) on 07 Sep 2014

Entertaining but uninspired, The Equalizer proves if nothing else why Washington remains one of our better, if underused, movie stars…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Sean O'connell (919) for CinemaBlend (829) on 07 Sep 2014

The Equalizer remakes a 1980s TV drama. But it reclaims some of Hollywood's '80s attitude, in the process…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Thelma Adams (133) for Yahoo! Movies (43) on 07 Sep 2014

For sheer balletic violence -- and a rousing, climactic High Noon-like face-off finale -- The Equalizer delivers on what Washington and Fuqua promise…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Jordan Hoffman (1,025) for Vanity Fair (761) on 07 Sep 2014

It is an undeniable treat to see Denzel Washington beat down on bad guys [even in] a cliché-heavy screenplay like this…
