Denzel Washington & Chloe Moretz : A great combination

Rating: 7/10 (10 October 2014)

When you look at the list of films were Chloe Moretz played in you really see a big diversity in the characters she played and the films she had done. A lot of actors want to keep it safe but Chloe doesn't that makes her, apart from her brilliant acting skills, one of the most talented teenage actors we have at the moment. So I was happy she played in this film and when you watch this film you see the combination of Chloe Moretz and Denzel Washington works really well. As an audience you have to believe that these two characters have this special relationship. Throughout the film Denzel Washington delivered an outstanding performance as a very lonely man but without fear, you can see it in his eyes that he's been through so much in his life and Denzel does an amazing performance on that.
I think the storyline really great. There is a very high pace which makes it never boring. There is such a great character development. Mr. McCall isn't just a lonely man who wants vengeance. No. The audience get to know who he is. They developed that really well. The problem with this film was for me personally was that everything was going so easy for the main character. He never lost a fight and that was something I saw as a bad thing. You have to make the right balance between not losing to many fights and not win to many. That makes it unpredictable. The story wasn't unpredictable but somehow you knew that when was in a fight he would win this.
I rate this film 7/10 because of the outstanding performances of Denzel Washington and Chloe Moretz. But also because of the good working and fantastic written storyline. DVD/Blu Ray worthy! I very much recommend this film.
