Leave your brains at home

Rating: 7/10 (4 October 2014)

I briefly remember the 1980's TV show that this is based on. But i'm sure i'm one of the few. Meaning i doubt anyone cares that this is a remake. I don't, and i usually hate remakes purely on the basis that they're remakes.
This One is going to get judged as a Denzel Washington movie. Which i feel is what most people will be doing if they see it. That said. Its a decent vigilante flick. Raised above the bulk of these kind of movies by Washingtons presence.
The Film sees Washingtons Robert MacColl working at a hardware store during the day, and kicking the ass of bad-guys at night. One of the bad-guys he sorts out however eventually has repercussions, as another rubbishy bad-guy ends up on Denzels trail wanting him dead. But there is where the slickness lies.
Off Course, Denzel Washinton is as cool as always playing the typically indestructible one man army, in what is a stylish, Violent thriller with an awesome finale to stick around for. Leave your brains at home though, and try and ignore the clichéd slow motion, and over the top close-ups.
