What do you see? A mix bag...

Rating: 5/10 (30 December 2014)

I vaguely remember seeing the previous Fuqua/Washington effort, Training Day, before i began watching The Equalizer and my overall feeling once the credits began to roll was to watch it as soon as possible in order to reassure it couldn't be as bad as the film i had just watched.
On the negative side, The Equalizer is overlong, (30 minutes easily could be cut from the film) over-violent, (i know it's an action film but it just seemed to deter from the seriousness of the tone it was trying to achieve) and rather quite silly in places.
On the positive side, Washington gives a good performance but that's pretty much about it.
5/10
