The Best Action Movie of the Year and One of Denzel's all time best!!

Rating: 10/10 (25 September 2014)

I had the chance to watch this this movie today on its opening night here in Dubai and I intended not to check out either its ratings on IMDb nor watch the trailer or even get to know the plot summary!! I just went in there with no prejudice hoping that Denzel Washington will deliver a decent movie as he usually does and make up my mind on it without any influence by rating or user reviews and to my amazement and amusement I got much more than what I bargained for!! In fact I was in front one of Denzel Washington best and most memorable movies of his entire illustrious career especially on the action side this movie easily compete with some of his finest including Training Day and Man on Fire and to me it was better than both. You see! if you tell the story line to anyone he would easily say been there done that yet a great film doesn't necessarily have a unique story line even the simplest of stories can create a blockbuster depending on how good the story is and how it was made!! Here the story deliver the ultimate fight between Good and pure dark evil and again it is almost a mission impossible with one guy fighting an entire special forces army!! so throughout the movie you are guessing what will happen next yet as any good memorable movie this one is not all about fight scenes which are extra ordinarily done by the way and more real and dark than any of your average action movies nowadays yet the good about this movie is the drama and act part are simply exquisite with some really memorable scenes and lines by Danzel and the crew that's why may be some people felt it slow at times as they may be came in only for the action yet if it was all action then may be you aught to watch a Bruce Willis action flick instead!! For if it was just a continuous shallow fight scenes it will easily loose it's depth and turn into a comic show rather than a good movie.
This movie is an epic action movie that I believe in a few years from now shall be more appreciated than it is today!! Because people sometimes don't acknowledge how good a movie is until they hear more about it and probably watch more times to sink in!! This movie puts Denzel Washington character in the ultimate test with him taking on an entire ruthless Russian Mafia Mob with all their power and influence and with a super bad guy adversary played by the dark and sinister looking Marton Cokas who was Excellent in his rule and provided that ultimate adversary atmosphere that is one of the most vital elements of a good action movie just like it was the case in James Bond movie Casino Royale here again we get the same level bad guy if not more dark and sinister.
I recommend this movie to everyone out there want to see an epic action movie that delivers to every sense of the word and I'm not who could be easily convinced with good action no matter how big and famous the cast were so here my evaluation has nothing to do with Danzel Washington being in the lead role yet he fits it perfect and deliver one of his best movies to date!!
