Easy to watch actioner that's also a little too easy to forget.

Not exactly my taste of action film or film in general, but it’s well done for what it is and Denzel is wonderful as ever

Yes, you can say that Denzel kind of phoned in this performance, but don't knock it too much - Equalizer is packed full of action, long stares and a deadly, deadly man with a heart of gold. Marton Csokas is a good counter-point to Washington and, hey, if it gets more people to read the classics, that's a good thing too. If you crave a bit of action, you could certainly do worse.

Average action movie, actually it feels like a superhero movie hidden behind an action movie. No really any depth, expect some sympathy we can see he's feeling towards the young girl. And the fact that he is, in spite of all the killings, a good guy. Guess I just expected more of Denzel, and I think I would have rated lower if he wouldn't have been in the movie. And I like the girl from KickAss :) But to sum up, you don't really need to see this movie.

a ok movie . denzel wasingington i really like but really this is no different to a jason staham movie. cept this is without the kick that is required. one minute denzil's character is meant to be great the next he is on his back , i liked the movie but it felt hollow and the bad guys were as cliche as it comes. the bad russina guy was good but what a dissapointment it was in the end a big lead up to a obvious and pathetic showdown. btw why did he not get the girl in hospital. lots of plot holes like bullets but still its hard not to like densil in anything

Let me start by saying that I love most everything that Denzel Washington has been in. His character here, Robert McCall, is supposed to be deadly and highly skilled, but trying to distance himself from that part of his past. I thought Denzel was much more effective at this in 'Man On Fire'. Much of the rest of this is very cliche and predictable, despite the over-the-top violence and mayhem. The film, based on the 80's TV series of the same name that stared Ed Woodward, deftly sets itself up as a sequel generator in the final frames. Look out, Liam Neeson, you've got some new competition. It was nice to see some hometown scenery (Boston), but unless you're a Denzel fan, you might want to wait to catch this as a rental...
