Don't Eat Pringles or Other Junk Food!

Rating: 8/10 (30 September 2014)

What's not to enjoy? A great-looking African-American protagonist, played with intelligence, grace and wit by Denzel Washington, who is unassuming but very, very clever, concerned about what he and others put into their bodies by way of food, erudite, fastidious and committed to righting situations for a few decent acquaintances trying to improve their lives against long odds. This guy thinks outside the box when up against Russian mafia evil-doers and is merciless in inflicting punishment for bad deeds. As others have said, it is comic book violence and very gruesome at times. But there is still creativity in the execution in keeping with the savvy of our hero. Two hours of pure entertainment.
