The Equalizer (2014) - " Will you stand and watch if you can do something to a situation, well that's the beginning of a story "
Enjoyed a complete action entertainer after a long time. I just couldn't believe that Denzel Washington can do a role like this even now and its definitely a wow factor. Actually i was thinking how he would really make it into such a movie now but i was totally wrong. Right from the word go , this movie kept its accelerator on and raced towards the end. Plot is so regular as we seen in many other movies like Leon the profession or Man from nowhere etc.but yet this movie had its own jaw dropping moments. Next to the stunning performance from Denzel , its the BGM which attracts us most and especially the BGM during last fight scene under the rain from fire alarm inside the store was intense. Also that slow motion capture while he destroys a container ship with his walking style along with a right perfect bgm was just mind blowing.

Also the best part of the movie with all these factors is its powerful dialogues here and there..like...
- When you pray for rain, you gotta deal with the mud too.
- I am offering you a chance to do the right thing. Take it.
- I want the head of the snake.
- He is not here for seeking help. he is here for seeking permission...
- I can keep going , Brick by brick , Dollar by Dollar , Body by body...
- What do you see when you look at me...
and many more..
This movie also has its fare share of Logic flaws here and there but yet with a meticulously done screenplay it supersedes everything. I cant rate this with all other action movies but my experience with watching this movie was great and thoroughly enjoyed it. Though the movie is nothing new as i said already , but the way it was made especially with Denzel's screen presence with this two sided cameo acting steals the show. This will definitely be a treat for action movie lovers and one definitely not to be missed.
