Denzel Washington back at it with a touch of OCD

Rating: 8/10 (16 December 2014)

This movie is based on the premise of the 1980's TV series of the same name. This movie and reboot to the series isn't exactly the non-stop action thriller most are expecting, but non the less, it's moody, violent, has good character development and a not so formulaic plot. The director, Fuqua does a good job in projecting a visually dark world - a sort of shadowy Noir underworld. Also, Robert McCall (Denzel) adds a touch of OCD to his character which plays a very unique role in the movie.
Conclusion: It feels like a '90s action movie throwback. Done with the proper brutal violence, bloodshed, slow motion sequences and good acting. It's a very unique movie.
Grade: 8/10 (8.5/10 if possible)
