Black Rambo in a mall

Rating: 2/10 (12 January 2016)

The movie started pretty good. That's why it's getting the extra star. But I swear I was laughing when it finished. The best part was when Robert McCall (Denzel Washington) killed the Russian mob with that nailing machine and turned around and left, when Ralfie was shot twice and scared to death in the control room, 20 meters away. hahahaha. Awesome Robert!
I can not even say until what point I was enjoying the movie. It gradually went down until I was not taking it seriously any more. I liked his skills. In this kind of action movies, we usually like when the guy knows what is he doing; like Liam Neeson, in Taken, or Matt Damon, as Jason Bourne. May be Denzel was actually too good; kinda analytical. Almost a superhero. He could be one of the Avengers. If he would have Batman gadgets, he would beat Batman.
I definitely didn't like how overloaded he was of all the stuff. A guy who has been living a peaceful life for years and suddenly the girl and the Russian mafia, Ralfie's mom and the corrupt cops and the robber in the mall, who he had to find somehow. This is like when a random guy gets bit by a spider and becomes Spiderman, and suddenly all around is crime. Come on...The girl and the Russian mafia was totally enough to make a story...
Now, the Russian mafia. When you watch a documentary about them, they look like more scary and more smart. So, to go to see one of the mobs you have to go through a room where Chinese people are counting tones of Russian corrupt money? Are you serious? And this guy gets in there and walk seeing all of this with no problem? Thanks director for not making him go there with a Go Pro Hero camera with a selfie stick.
Then this mall situation. You know when someone gets trapped in the cleaning room and makes a bomb with the cleaning products? And remember when Rambo prepares all this traps and things in the jungle? This two things mixed in one, in a mall, where he has got everything he needs. Such a stupid idea. First of all I don't understand why would he go there without a gun. But OK. But why wouldn't he take any of the guns of all this people he kills? Instead, he gets this nailing machine. And you see Denzel in slow motion cocking a nailing machine. The only thing missing was the name "BOSCH" on the side of the it. Ridiculous!
To sum up in two words. Bad movie.
