The Equalizer (Review)

The Equalizer (2014)

*Spoiler alert
Trailer :

The Equalizer is an action movie that tells about a mysterious background man trying to have a new beginning, but left his past until. Then, he meets a young girl who is worked by Russian gangster and he's trying to set her free from them.

Cast :

• Denzel Washington as Robert McCall. A usual man who lives his life normally like the others, until he fights the Russian gangster and leave so many questions about who he was.
• Chloe Grace Moretz as Teri. A young girl who is forced to work as a prostitute under Russian control.
• Marton Csokas as Teddy. An ex-Russian army who has one job, to make sure there's no problem in Russian business.

The action of this movie is great, as you expected from Denzel Washington. He is a big actor, so it is not something surprising to see him play very well. However, I am more excited with Chloe Grace Moretz here. We can say that she is under 18 when played this movie, but she played well as an older bad girl here (Teri). She is beautiful though, I love to see her in any movies (just kidding lol). The idea is to keep the audience wondering about Robert's (Denzel)  background or past life, and this movie, even gives some scene that relates to his past, we can clearly see who he was, and this is very interesting for me. I think he is a former special force or US elite army, as we can see how badass he is (see the fighting scene). He looks harmless and calm, but he is very brutal. He has no doubt in killing people, the Russian gangster of course, and then the robber who robbed the store where he works at (You can see in the trailer above, when the robber take a woman's ring, then he uses a hammer to kill and get the ring back). I really like this movie but I think the protagonist (Robert) is too strong and unstoppable. He can fight all of the members of that Russian gangster without dropping any sweat (this is just a term), even Teddy, who is a well-trained soldier, is easily beaten by him. This movie ends with a happy ending. Luckily, Teri doesn't kiss Robert (she did actually, kiss cheek), If she does, I can take it (lol).
Here you can watch his on of most baddass action. Enjoy.
