This is a great action film always enjoy Denzel's movies the fighting scenes are brutal don't want Robert McCall on your bad side

Sorry but only Edward Woodward or at least someone who resembles him can play the Equalizer (Denzel Washington doesn't by a long shot).

As a fan of the TV series I was disappointed that this bears little resemblance to it's source material. That isn't to say this is a bad film. In the series Edward Woodward fed up working as an agent gave it up, but wasn't willing to let his expertise go wasted. He took out an ad to help those in need. He occasionally had help for former colleagues. He lived in a nice apartment. Drove a Jag. The very city of New York was almost a character unto itself. The Robert McCall Denzel plays him more like Liam Neeson in the Taken series. I guess my big problem is once again Hollywood has taken a property with name recognition. I enjoy this film for what it is, but I would still love to see a faithful adaptation of The Equalizer.

Well the Cold War ended. Violent crime rates plummeted. But Hollywood vigislaughtergore(new word) has sky rocketed. Words like pandering and exploitation come to mind. But especially hypocrisy. I doubt that a single person who works as an instructor of firearms would endorse this film genre. Certainly not anyone in the NRA. Then I ask myself why do some people want to give Washington a pass? He's successful and rich? Huh? Feudalism 2.0 has landed. People at the top of the social pyramid are just innately better than common folk. Well the ones that have been anointed by the media that is. I suppose it really helps to work in the media. I don't live near the media centers, where should I go to grovel? Is just paying for this crapola sufficient tribute?
