Excellent reboot of the TV series - Denzel delivers again

Rating: 8/10 (9 May 2015)

I was a big fan of this TV show. I was excited to see this reboot, and especially with Denzel as Robert McCall, a simple day worker at a big box home depot type store, but with an unknown past.
Denzel delivers in spades. His character is very slowly revealed as a vigilante type who takes no crap from any bad guy who wrongs the simple, hard-working, common person on the street. Kind of like the Charles Bronson Death Wish series. Some of the interactions are funny, especially with the other femme semi-lead, young lady hooker who dreams of being a singer, but is instead deep in over her head with Russian bad guys.
Well, you know stuff is going to happen, and when it does, you want Robert McCall on your side. He takes on the Russians and other bad guys. The fight scenes are all slow-motion timed out choreographies that reveal part of Denzel's character's compulsion with organizing everything in his life.
You learn only a little about his past, something to do with something powerful in some government agency, but there are little details given, other than the knowledge that this is a guy you do NOT mess with.
The ending leaves the sequel door wide open, and I hope they follow this up while Denzel is still young enough to do this action stuff. One thing's for sure - next time I go to Home Depot or Lowes, I'm going to look at the guys there muccccch differently. Enjoy this excellent action flick.
