Enjoyable modern day superhero type action

Rating: 7/10 (14 July 2015)

This movie was actually better than I expected. It was kind of a mix of bond/bourne type ingenuity action with an added modern day superhero quality - the type that allows the viewer to get a bit carried away with all the action without questioning how believable the story line is. For me it has some great high adrenaline action and at the centre of it all is the ever cool Denzel Washington. The story line tends to delve further into the unbelievable the further it goes on - eventually to the point where you wonder how Mr Mccall could so easily seemingly return to his normal everyday life after such outrageous public exposure. But then you remember that it's all about unapologetic action - and doesn't try to be particularly believable or convey any deep and meaningful message. It sets out to entertain - and that it certainly does.
