Review of The Equalizer (2014) by Alex A — 05 Mar 2015

Denzel Washington hardly ever disappoints, and The Equalizer is a serviceable, at times highly entertaining but overall run-of-the-mill action flick with the invincible hero we've all seen before. The buildup in the first act was enjoyable but took too long to kick-start the plot, and the second act onwards began over-exceeding the films modest premise.

All in all this isn't bad nor great, and most certainly enjoyable, but a slimmer running time would certainly have made The Equalizer's script tighter, concise and less bloated.
