It's only a movie!

Rating: 10/10 (7 April 2017)

The Equalizer is certainly not an original. Movies like The Matrix or Bourne Supremacy come up from time to time to make our head spin. The rest of the time, you get junk. The Equalizer is somewhere in between. Solely because Danzel Washington plays an interesting character very well. The rest of the cast is also excellent. The direction and photography makes it enjoyable to watch. It seems to me that many viewers are addicted to fast pace movies. If it's a bit slow starting, they tune off. I don't mind personally. Not every action movie has to be fast and furious. There are people, who like fast pace and others who enjoy some thinking time, or are simply waiting for a break in the action to go to the bathroom. Your wife or girlfriend won't likely appreciate the violence, but in this kind of action movies, you expect the baddies to act evil. I found The Equalizer enjoyable. Love the atmosphere and waited patiently to see the bad guys get wasted. It's always a satisfying feeling. Short of ever seeing that kind of outcome in the real world, we're bound to see many more of these movies, good and bad, in the future.
