Denzel is a BADASS

Rating: 8/10 (30 September 2014)

I went into this movie with an open mind as Denzel is ageing and this movie didn't have much hype. I left throughly impressed and would go back and watch it again. Denzel plays a very calm, respectful and polite older man who frequently visits the local coffee shop where he reads books and chats with a young girl who is into some pretty negative stuff in her life. (Prostitution) He acts as a father figure to her and tries guiding her in the right direction in life. Just as this happens sh*t hits the fan and that's where the action picks up. You find out quickly that he possesses some 'special' skills. Basically this is the type of movie you can't help but get behind and cheer for the good guy. He exacts revenge on everyone who does him or his friends wrong. He does so in a very savage way and uses odd weapons to get the job done. (Rarely uses a gun) Throughout the movie you're shown how great of a human being he is, as he constantly tries helping less fortunate people get ahead in life. The villains are cast very well and give you the impression that they're no one to mess around with and surprise you with intelligence. However a villain is a villain and you know how that ends. If you want to see a truly badass movie with a ballsy tough guy this is the movie. It's not 100% action all of the time but that's what makes it great. Lots of buildup to the ass whoopings! 9/10
