A nice movie overshadowed by competition

Rating: 7/10 (25 December 2014)

Honestly, i had fun watching this. There is probably plot holes and impossible stuff but who care? Its made to be an action type of movie. Yet that is the small problem i found in it. Its an action movie but the pacing is very slow. There is a few action scenes here and there, but way too few of them and sometimes even off screen...
On the other hand the story is nice, Denzel play his part very good, Chloe do the job even tough the role is small. But maybe its because i saw John Wick before, i couldn't help myself but to compare the 2 and its obvious when you do, you realize one is an action fest on testosterone, the other a nice movie but that do lack something.
The premise is not the same but similar, the bad guys are both Russian mobs, in both case the protagonist is a guy with super skills... And if i got to pick one, yes John Wick was much superior for me. But that does not mean Equalizer is not a good movie. Like i said, i had a good time, the movie is over 2 hours long yet i was not bored, despite it being slow paced. The character is interesting, the main bad guy acting and presence is nice, although i had higher hopes for him, and basically its what it is, just a good action movie.
