Just amazing

Rating: 9/10 (27 April 2018)

This movie was simply superb!! The plot is very simple yet manages to make a huge impact on the audience. The director has shown that a simple plot can be made into a brilliant movie. Cheers to Mr. Fuqua for that.
Coming to the acting, Denzel Washington was just too good in his role. I believe no one else could have portrayed Robert McCall any better in a movie than him. The intensity that his character was supposed to possess was clearly shown. Chloe-Grace Moretz as the teenage prostitute was also good in her small role. The villain played by Marton Csokas was also good.
One of the best things about this movie are its themes which are dark, gritty and violent. The action scenes were very well done especially the climax scene in the warehouse.
Another thing I loved is the concept of the movie. Denzel plays an ex-CIA special forces officer who left his job to live a quiet life as he promised his deceased wife. But seeing a young girl in trouble, he decides to get back in action and goes on a violent rampage against the Russian mafia. In a certain way this movie sends a great message to the society that there are still good people out there who are ready to help all those who are oppressed. Watching this movie will make you wish for the existence of someone like Robert McCall in real life who would provide vigilante justice which is something the world desperately needs especially with all the atrocities being commited around the world on certain groups
of people.
Overall this is a great movie and a wonderful action thriller which also has a good story that the audience can enjoy and I'm eagerly waiting for The Equalizer II.
