The re-make of the popular 80's movie, "The Equalizer" is really brought back to life by Denzel Washington. His performance in this movie is phenomenal and he is what makes this movie so good. He makes the film so intense just by making his famous Denzel Washington faces. He plays an average-Joe that works at a home improvement store, but is secretly a trained killer. He is so calm and methodical as he kills an entire gang of Russian mobsters one-by-one in very creative and gruesome ways. This movie is super violent, but Denzel Washington's character holds his composure throughout the whole movie. He never raises his voice, curses, or threatens; he has a calm demeanor during the entire movie while killing countless gangsters and he always gives them a chance to keep their lives before he kills them.
All this fighting and violence is done with good intentions at heart. Denzel's character, "Robert" is exacting revenge on anyone he sees doing wrong/ evil and single-handedly restores order back to his neighborhood. "Robert" leads a very simple, routine life and doesn't look dangerous, but he is highly trained in combat and basically invincible. He is compassionate and goes out of his way to help others and cares for people, which is why he refuses to sit back and watch the injustices around him.
Pretty much EVERY Denzel Washington movie is guaranteed to be good and this one is no different -
I give this movie 8/ 10
