Film Freak 2014 - The Equalizer


Pretty much sure the School Holidays was not the perfect time to release this ultra violent 2 hour thriller with Denzel Washington as the lead but let's see what I thought...



Lets start with Chloe Grace Moretz going from If I Stay to a little more like Hit Girl in Kick Ass and I have to say I did like her as the vulnerable hooker that Denzel chats to at his local all night diner when the shit really gets real.

So Russians as the bad guys, Denzel as the Home Mart sleep deprived all loveable hero and the body count just grows and grows (in the second half of the feature).

It takes a bit to set up this film but once it starts it really fires with all forms of potential murder weapons from your local Home Mart.

The film itself deserves its MA rating for so much violence and just hatred from the vile Martin Csokas who plays one of the lead Russian bad guys.

Look no new ground is broken but I must say it held my attention (for the slightly long) 2 hour running time.

It really is for the over 15's only and maybe guys out there (into chicks) not a great date night film, The Equalizer, It rates a solid 3.5 nail gun to the neck Stars.
