Revenge Is A Dish Best Served Denzel

Rating: 7/10 (20 December 2014)

No one, and I mean NO ONE, does revenge like Denzel Washington. And when he's a man on fire, you get giddy with expectation on his killing sprees. Especially if they're cartoonish bad guys. A video game come alive, this movie is FUN. I grew up with the original t.v. series...and the update is nice. It is stripped of pure camp and gone the way of most Denzel movies. He's the best of the best with a dark past. If you haven't gotten enough of this, watch this flick. It's a LOT of the same, but still worthwhile time waster.
Antoine Fuqua again proves he has a very sympathetic ear to the streets. Meaning, he likes the percentage of people who are always getting screwed in life. I like that. I like that theme. And I like there is someone who doesn't wear a cape or have superpowers that have been bestowed on them due to gamma rays or whatever. It's just a man who was upset. Nothing wrong in that. If you spend too much time on the logic, then screw you...this movie isn't your cup of tea. Go watch some British BBC spy movie that gives you every dull detail of its inception. This is good ol' fashion American butt-whipping. Fun.
