Review of The Equalizer (2014) by Hotelcentral — 01 Nov 2017

I give this film a 7.5 rounded up to 8 because it's nice to see a fictional vigilante serving justice with brains and ingenuity while avoiding most of the primitive cliches we see in virtually every other action flick of the past two decades.

This is not the Equalizer of the TV show. The character is very different, lives very differently, and has been transplanted to Boston. But this Robert McCall is very much worth knowing and Denzel Washington gives a fine performance. I recommend this film without reservation.
