Not many actors could draw me into each movie they make but Denzel is a rare bread.. I love all the usual suspects 'Man On Fire', 'Training Day,' 'Book Of Eli' etc! but I really like some of his less talked about films such as 'John Q', 'Out Of Time', 'Deja Vu' & 'Unstoppable'... Still as long as DW's name is attached I reckon the chances are good that it will be another movie to add to my list...

The film is based on the 1980's TV series of the same name. It ran from 1985-1989, lasting 88 episodes. The character, Robert McCall, was played by Edward Woodward, who's actually a Caucasian actor while McCall is played by Oscar Winning Actor Denzel Washington. There is even a reboot of the series on CBS with Queen Latifah playing Robin McCall, a former CIA operative and single mother.

The Equalizer trusts the intelligence of the audience. No flashbacks to McCall in younger days. No explanation of who he worked for before. We’re trusted to not need every little detail of his past in order to understand the story that unfolds.
@kaisokusekkendou1498
@kaisokusekkendou1498 Жыл бұрын
This was an incredibly well scripted and directed movie! So much visual story telling, and off-screen implied resolutions that not only assumes the audience can keep up, but also conveys a greater story beyond just "what happened". The theft at gunpoint is a perfect example: 1. Without dialogue, we see him size up the threat, look for identifying marks (neck tattoo), and just before he would potentially do something he notices the mom and kids coming in that would end up caught up in anything that happens. No dialogue, no narration, just a few quick flashes and we know what's happening. 2. We see him take, and then return (while wiping down) a hammer. Not only do we understand that he took his knowledge of identifying marks he got from the encounter to track down the guy and meted out punishment physically, we also get the sense that this was just "daily routine" for him. He's putting away his tools for work for the day. The implication is that this whole issue wasn't even worth screen time.. just routine. 3. When she gets her ring back, we are reinforced that he has a strong sense of justice, is a protector, and likes to see things through to the end. 5 minutes of visuals and so much conveyed, understood so implicitly that even if you didn't consciously catch all the implications, it has done its job. We won't question his actions or motives later, we will even anticipate his reactions because we have this understanding brought out by little vignettes like this. This film should be used to teach movie making in schools, lol.

I think people get that feeling of Denzel playing himself in all the movies because he most often plays similar characters.

Denzel is great in basically every Movie he is in, even the not so good ones. I don't know if "Plays himself" is the right term, but he does put some of him self into the characters he plays, I certainly could never see any of his characters played by anyone else after seeing him play them. You should check out, if you haven't already, some of the Films he did with Tony Scott. Especially Crimson Tide and Man on Fire some of his best works.

Denzel is pretty much great in every film. A worthy film adaptation of the 80's TV series starring the late Edward Woodward. I can't think of many actors that could play McCall other than Washington. He stars again as McCall in The Equalizer 2, which in part goes deeper into McCall's backstory. This has become one of my favourite films.

I 100% agree he's my favourite of those you listed Although I think John Wick 1 is a better overall film, Equalizer is definitely my favourite protagonist, then Nobody, then Wick, then Bourne

I know everyone goes for the action packed classics, but another Denzel performance that I think you will especially enjoy is: Inside Man (A Spike Lee Joint) an underrated and often forgotten classic. 🤘

It was funny that you brought up the comparison with Jason Bourne after one of Marton Csokas/Teddy's scenes, because one of Jason Bourne's 'victims' in 'The Bourne Supremacy' was another Marton Csokas character.

The scene when he is sitting across from the Russian. OMG. Both actors Washington, and Csokas. They could of made the whole first 2 acts about them taking about their pasts, and how they came to this point, and it would still be riveting. Man, that scene the tension so thick you need a sword to cut it not a knife.

Denzel is one of the greatest actors and genuine people in Hollywood. Watch him speak outside of Hollywood if you don't believe me. A national treasure and legend.

i remember when the TV series came out. I was enthusiastic to see it. It was good. Edward Woodward played a great retired operative who just wanted to help people with difficult situations. I always imagined an updated version. Denzel is great in the part.

Brawl In Cell Block 99, bro. Needs to be put on your "to watch" list. Vince Vaughn of all people is the brutally efficient bad-ass protagonist. No comedic tics or quirks, man is a straight-up beast and his acting is really very good. Don Johnson shows up in a showy cameo and chews the scenery, which was [bleeping] awesome! Vince Vaughn almost always plays a hyper, comedic version of himself. Not in this. He is scary af. IRL, dude is 6'5" and weighs 240 - a big intimidating fella. In this movie, he is brutally savage. Nobody in the US makes good B movies anymore. Brawl In Cell Block 99 is a great B movie. Watch it!

This was a great experience in the theatre. The action scenes were very well put together. Denzel Washington is believable and just exudes coolness. If i could change 1 thing, i would like have heard the theme of the original show be represented here.
