Fuqua fails again

Rating: 3/10 (12 January 2015)

This is basically a reboot of Man on Fire, which was also starring Denzel Washington.
The Equalizer is a dumb, unoriginal and boring movie, with all the classic elements of a B-movie. The stereotype bad-ass Russian gangster boss that earns more money than Bill Gates and Warren Buffet combined (it seems), needs to be put down by the ex. CIA American anti hero which only wants justice his own way. puke.
Olympus has fallen was a disaster of a movie, where North Koreans attack the white house, and all the clichés known to man was presented after one another. In this movie it's the Russians, living in the US, with their drug money and their bad attitude, taking advantage of the great American country and it's hospitality. Those damn mean Russians.
Yeah i see where you are going with this Fuqua. So who's the bad-guys in your next movie?. Iranians? Or did you already make a movie with them? If only, the acting was inspiring, or the story had something interesting to tell, if only they showed something new, If only the dialogue was anything close to creative, if only the script writers knew what they were doing, if only Fuqua could learn how to direct. Speaking of that, he seem to have taken the same path as Shyamalan, except Fuqua never made a really awesome movie. Training day was OK, but noting more.
Well. This is a bad action movie. It starts off really good, for like 20 minutes i enjoyed it quite a lot, it promised something. And then it just turns out to be the lovechild of "Taken" and "Man on Fire".
3/10 - bad
