Moral of the story is: Don't mess with Obama, I mean Denzel

Rating: 9/10 (15 December 2014)

Obama...I mean Denzel swings some seriously massive and intimidating American penis against Russian mafia in this film.
In all seriousness though this film is totally awesome. It features great actor Denzel Washington, who does have an uncanny resemblance to the president. He is the man not to be messed with in this film. The narrative pits an unethical, evil and corrupt Russian underground with a righteous, courageous and overall good American hero (Denzel).
This was a narrative of good versus evil that was very popular in other films during the Cold War Era. Therefore it's hardly surprising, given the recent political events in Russia and the Ukraine that this film is also very much following along that well trodden path.
Although I am making it sound as though it's clichéd it is actually a good film and Denzel is always great to watch on screen. Of all of the shoddy action films out there, I would rate this one highly. Which is surprising as I'm a woman and I normally absolutely hate action movies.
