13. MY MOVIES MIND PART 3 – THE EQUALIZER

In 2014, I watched a Denzel Washington latest action flick “The Equalizer” and it’s quickly became my action movies in my must see “repeatedly” list before “John Wick”.

The Equalizer is loosely based on an 80s television series with the same name.This reinvention in comparison aims to be darker and much violent, but the film's ambition is basically turning its star, Denzel Washington, into a grittier action hero. It somehow pays off when he starts killing bad guys in cold blood, and it's amazing how he could still carry the character's humanity along the way.  

(L-R) Terry meet Mc Call

In The Equalizer, Denzel Washington plays McCall, a man who believes he has put his mysterious past behind him and dedicated himself to beginning a new, quiet life. But when McCall meets Teri (Chloë Grace Moretz), a young girl under the control of ultra-violent Russian gangsters, he can't stand idly by - he has to help her. 

Mc Call in actions

Armed with hidden skills that allow him to serve vengeance against anyone who would brutalize the helpless, McCall comes out of his self-imposed retirement and finds his desire for justice reawakened. If someone has a problem, if the odds are stacked against them, if they have nowhere else to turn, McCall will help.
