Let's just get this out of the way. Denzel Washington is the man. I don't think that point was in question, but it is worth mentioning. The Equalizer is a very good movie. Don't believe me? Antoine Fuqua is the director. Get over it.
I made the mistake of watching this movie in close proximity to John Wick. I loved John Wick. LOVED IT. The Equalizer is in some ways better than John Wick. Denzel is a very convincing assassin/CIA operative. Perhaps the best part of The Equalizer is Marton Csokas portrayal of the Russian fixer.
Denzel Denzels and lots of bad guys get it. What more do you want?
Score: 8/10. This is a pretty entertaining movie.
