DOESNT GET A TEN COS ITS NOT MAN ON FIRE

Rating: 9/10 (14 May 2019)

Just reviewed EQ2 so thought it was time to revisit EQ1. This is an outstanding trip out by Denzel, Marton, Chloe and Melissa with more than adequate support from the filler bad guys. Loved the side bars to keep the equalization trundling along. This film in my opinion, is so good I even watch on commercial full channels (along with MonF) which is not normally true unless a film beats my fairly high bar for excellence.. This one beats the bar by some height. The scene between Teddy and Robert in the restaurant was truly epic in its perfection so Kudos to Denxel and Marton for nailing it. Only minor niggles were the small plot holes and Roberts use of anything but a firearm for maximum death causing. Lets be honest, given his former trade I am sure he is more than proficient in stuff that goes bang at the pointy end. Having said that, maybe it added to the overall deadliness of our main man and perhaps JWs pencils could be added to the mix lol. In summary far better than EQ2 but hopefully equal to or even subservient to a prayed for EQ3. As usual, well played Mr Fuqua you excel in this Genre plus a good score that matched the films pace and ambience
