Entertaining movie

Rating: 6/10 (12 October 2014)

In common with a lot of Hollywood features I have to confess I preferred the first half of this movie to the second half.
The first half of the movie is very much character driven and focuses on the relationship between Robert McCall (Denzel Washington) and Teri (Chloë Grace Moretz). McCall is a man leading an ordinary life and getting away from the extraordinary talents from his earlier life. He befriends a prostitute Teri who is stuck in her situation despite dreams of being a singer. This part of the movie is extremely engaging and that certainly helps when the movie moves to a more action based focus.
The second part of the movie is also pretty good although there's very little of the dialogue that makes the first hour so enjoyable. Well worth a watch!
