The Equalizer: a good 'God of Vengeance' type of film.

Rating: 7/10 (13 December 2014)

When, as a kid, I was asked what 'The Searchers' was about I told that a Comanche tribe had the stupidest idea you could have in Far West: killing John Wayne's family. And that the rest of the movie was the inevitable consequence of it.
This was my first encounter with 'God of Vengeance' kind of film. And I liked it, just as I liked the present one. There great sceneries filled the screen, here very good action, fantastic lighting and the astounding performance of Denzel Washington nail you to the seat.
I don't think this kind of films has a good influence on kids: to me it seemed that John Wayne was right, the revenge he pursued was noble and killing those Indians made him a better man. If a Comanche tribe ever were to show up in Rome and kill my family well I don't how it would have ended.
But, you know, probably I just was the only stupid kid on Earth.
