'Is It Just You Or Are We Waiting For Someone Else?' | The Equalizer

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. 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. He is The Equalizer.

I'm imagining McCall's review of the book afterwards: "Powerful, hard-hitting... I couldn't put it down."

[PureNRG]

Even though it’s basically the same scenario each time pitting McCall against the baddies, it just never gets old.

Imagine bringing a gun to a book fight....

I like that Denzel does not resort to exaggerated moves like flying kicks or making a guy fluy after his punches or kicks. Just fast short effective moves to finish his opponents, just a trained analytical mind, that makes his movies more enjoyable.

I love it when Denzel equalizes things.

Nicolai never admitted it in the movie but the character's actions and facial expressions showed he really admired Robert's analytical and calculated mind and his chess moves when it came to outsmarting the enemy.

CSokas really knocked this role out of the park.

I have never seen Mr. Washington in a role where I didn't like his performance. He always sells the characters, and the camera loves him. Top notch actor.

Man, I want music like that whenever I cross the street….

[danashane]

the guy behind the counter knew shit was going down - "I'll be back in a minute." He even knew it would only take a minute.

Its a good movie and the music really set the mood for every scene. I probably watched this movie half a dozen times.

[Bob.Jenkins]

You've got to admit, the Music for this scene was incredible.

Equalizer trilogy is so good. Anyone who appreciate action movies will love this. Denzel is perfect actor for these kind of movies!

One could say:

...He threw the book at them.
...Read them like a book.
...He started a new chapter.

All right. This movie rocked. 😎

Fences was some of the best acting I have ever seen. It's not an "action" film but more of a family drama. Great movie with Denzel Washington.

[glados]

Really nice of that truck driver to block the view at that exact moment, and then leave at the exact moment the power goes out.

0:07 Nighthawks. One of my most favorite paintings. Amazing.

[johntechwriter]

Denzel and his great director own this genre.😊

[fluffstuffpootiebean]

You left out the best bit of dialogue where after this the bad guy says, "I simply cannot believe he just equalized us."

[sirrebral]

Amazing how he knew that the restaurant's lights were on the same circuit as that outlet. 😂

Superb all round actor, book of Eli was a great film with a great twist not mentioned often enough, his acting talent in the bone collector whilst being barely able to move was first class, and man on fire was heroic...
