OK but not great

Rating: 5/10 (14 June 2016)

Not a bad film by any means but it could have been so much better. It is hard to know where it failed as Denzel is his usual brilliant best and Chloë Grace Moretz was incredibly good.
I also can't really blame the story line as it was pretty standard for this type of movie. But maybe that's the problem? It follows the usual Hollywood formula and other movies have done this sort of thing much better.
I also though there was far too much profanity, I am not a prude but it was just over used by a few characters.
I also thought that the end scene could have been better. I didn't find a lot of what Robert McCall did was overly clever and that is the whole point of the Equalizer.
So overall I would say this is a watchable movie but not one I will be too keen to watch again.
