DENZEL WASHINGTON IS FANTASTIC

Rating: 9/10 (2 February 2020)

I loved "The Equaliser" & i loved the legendary Denzel in his role as the extremely skilled & dangerous "Robert McCall" an ex-CIA Agent turned Urban Vigilante. Denzel is one of the greatest actors in cinema history FACT & i grew up watching & loving this guy & over the years he's cranked out some Amazing films such as "Training Day" & "Man on Fire" & "Deja Vu" & "The Taking of Pelham 123" & "The Bone Collector" & many, many more films. I'm a fan of Denzel but some of his flicks i didn't like such as "Inside Man" & "The Book of Eli" (terrible ending) & "2 Guns" but most of his work is usually excellent with excellent performances.
Here Denzel gives another incredible performance to his big list of great roles!!! McCall is a deadly man but a good man who will stop & help someone in trouble & here set in Boston he gets in deep trouble with the local scum, the Violent Russian gangsters who pimp out young girls & here "McCall" helps out a young brutalized girl "Teri" played greatly by Cloe Grace Moretz & comes head to head with a very dangerous man called "Teddy" played intensely by Martin Csokas, we also have a small role for the excellent Bill Pullman who turns up later in the film.
Director Antoine Fuqua has created a fantastic urban vigilante action Thriller that's exciting, gritty, brutal & fun.
The fact Robert McCall works a regular ordinary job in a hardware store is just genius & grounds everything is a sense of realism.
McCall goes about his violent business cleaning up a dark crime ridden Boston & meets good people as well as bad people.
The Action is brutally fun when McCall starts using his "Special Skills" on the local thugs & corrupted cops, it's a joy to watch him doing what we would all love to be done in real life!!!
Another excellent Denzel Washington film & role.
