Hollywood Version of Mentoring

Rating: 8/10 (20 February 2018)

Take the action portion out from this movie and we see an older man who gains a sense of purpose defending and mentoring the young. If just for this message, this movie is worth viewing! There is a dignity Denzel's character gives to life. Whatever his true inner purpose, he is taking action to help those in need. Yes, it is the Hollywood version of a human with superhero skills. I guess it is simply too much to make a movie of just a normal guy or gal who gives to others. The subtext here is important--we need mentors, especially those who can defend the weak, innocent, and vulnerable! It gives hope and restores dignity from those who rob it.
