"Three weeks ago we
wouldn't be having this conversation but I'm here now. I'm
really beginning to like this place. And the people. I'm
starting to believe from the bottom of my heart that this is
where I'm supposed to be. So whatever it is you and your friends
do please, do it somewhere else." -
Robert McCall
Why watch this?
Denzel is a master class on cool.

crime organization.

Dad's Preview:
It finally occurred to me that these Equalizer
films are actually anti-action in nature.
Denzel's portrayal, of a man with special skills, is
calm, understated and way more powerful than any "hero"
screaming, blasting and cussing at the bad guys. He's a
guy with unlimited skills, yet he cannot be bought or
compromised. He's the vigilante we wish would go into
our dirty little places and fix things - being our
honorable, decent hero - ridding the world of the money
and power-grubbing scumbags. Yeah, that's why I like
him. This ain't no
Die
Hard, but it's fun to watch, and Robert McCall
is easy to root for. |
