So boring I fell asleep

Rating: 1/10 (22 February 2015)

Seriously, it was that bad. Normally, a movie featuring so many guns and spilling so much blood would get my attention, but the action sequences were just dumb. From beginning to the end, the whole thing felt like a mindless grind. And you could tell from the sticky performances of the actors that they thought the project was stupid too. But with a $50 million budget, it must have been a nice payday for everyone involved and so they went through the motion to get the movie done.
Denzel Washington shows his age and is unconvincing as a super assassin. He is too rotund around the waist for people to believe that he has the quick moves needed to get the kills. Washington is best suited for a movie like "Flight" where he played a bitter and washed up alcoholic. For his own sake, he should either get in shape or turn down these action roles.
"The Equalizer" should never have been made. There is no need to insult the audience with this kind of trash. Unfortunately, it is rumored that they are making a sequel. Save your money and give this one a pass.
