Suggests intriguing questions about the moral and ethical imperatives of justice...answers these questions with an Old Testament zeal: evil must be smitten by self-appointed good men.July 19, 2018
This time around, Denzel's "Equalizer" is less of a Robin Hood-like hero for the helpless, and more of a Travis Bickle-like vigilante, shooting his way through a murder caper.July 19, 2018
Though it boasts some cool action scenes and a strong central performance, the movie is weighed down by a muddled script and bland storytelling efforts.July 19, 2018
A dawdling vengeance thriller from Antoine Fuqua, an offhand charismatic turn by Denzel Washington in the title role.July 19, 2018
The film is effective where it needs to be, and if there is an "Equalizer 3," in line to see it is where you'll find me.July 20, 2018
This follow-up is many things, and often chaotically tries to combine them all at once.July 19, 2018
With the secret behind his formidable skills out of the bag, all we have is a good guy who is good at things, and a sense of obligation to conjure up a convoluted syndicate of straw men for him to chop down.July 19, 2018
"The Equalizer" should be locked in a room with "The Terminator." Then this lousy series would finally be killed off.July 19, 2018
By the time the film concludes, I'm hoping Washington and Fuqua are willing to make a second exception to release a third installment.July 19, 2018
The film's slow-burn approach matches that of the original. Fuqua is in no hurry and understands that building a story gradually pays dividends later in the proceedings.July 19, 2018
"Equalizer 2" is the kind of raise-the-bar sequel that can convert a franchise skeptic into a fan.July 19, 2018
A reasonably well-written and (of course) beautifully acted serving of geriatric-virility violence porn...
