The Equalizer

Up front: I have never seen the TV show on which this is based. I don't need to. It's Denzel Freaking Washington in an action movie saving a damsel in distress (Cloe Grace Moretz) I believe taking his track record into account for these types of movies is enough to make you want to see it. If that doesn't do it....

Bob (or Robert as he looks more like one) McCall is just your average, 40 hour work week, OCD, Insomniac, Ex-CIA agent with some serious butt kicking skills. He minds his own business and keeps his head down...for the most part. He also is quick to help his friends and when your a Russian mobster it would be good to keep that in mind when you rough up his one friend and then turn down his deal to give her her freedom from a life of prostitution.

Come on!! If THAT doesn't do it for you are you human? It sounds awesome! Sure its ridiculously violent but you have to expect that when you have a man with such butt kicking skills and so many butts that need kicking...though it's not as much kicking as shooting, stabbing, corkscrewing, drilling, asphyxiating... well, you get the picture. It's also one of the most beautifully shot action movie I've ever seen. Almost every shot had me cocking my head and saying, "Wow, that was a great shot!" If violence doesn't bother you then this is a must see for you.   A
