Action, Reaction and Satisfaction

Rating: 7/10 (12 December 2014)

The Equalizer (2014):
The Equalizer is about a man who's going back to who he once was. The choice that led to his decision was when he saw a girl living a life she want to live differently. She is forced by people to do things she don't want to do and in order to stop it is by killing the man which is responsible for all that. As in the course of time we learn that their are more organizations and networks clogged in the underworld, but a man who's biggest fear is his own rivalry is going to change what nobody thought, but himself was possible to change. The well earned redemption of people who do no good in life.
Their are some hard challenges on the road for him, but on the way to satisfaction, he shows us that bad people will in a curtain time in their life be payed off for what they've done and/or caused.
Not only he deliver the message that he want's to deliver. He also delivers peace and rest in the life of her, as well as in his. He continues do to what he does best. Protecting and serve...
And to tell all that in about 2 hour run time? Wow, that must be harder to be done than what he has all done in the movie!
Sadly, we didn't see much of the girl's life she always want it to live and the ending let us sitting with a often common seen end we see in those regular action-thrilling hero movies.
But the way of writing and telling the movie is extraordinary well done in that particularly genre.
