Review of The Equalizer (2014) by Lasttimeisaw — 05 Oct 2014
A recent cinema-going of Denzel Washington’s latest thriller directed by Antoine Fuqua, the man behind his Oscar-crowning good-cop-goes-bad turn in TRAINING DAY (2001, 8/10). But that is only a one-off bait for his Oscar consummation.
As one of the most consistently bankable actor in Hollywood (at least in the domestic market), Washington’s good-man card never fail his audience, bar his sortie in portraying an ambiguous character as a drunken pilot garners him another Oscar-nomination in Robert Zemeckis’ FLIGHT (2012, 7/10).
So this reunion is more or less commercial-oriented than an ambitious art-house attempt as Fuqua has established his status as the Hollywood go-to action journeyman after producing profitable outputs like SHOOTER (2007) and OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN (2013).
