The Equalizer

The film is worth seeing to watch Denzel deliver his trademark slow burn gaze.

This paint-by-numbers film, though powerful when you watch it, largely thanks to its lead actor, has no lasting emotional affect.

The movie's all about reading, especially with a critical eye, but when you take too close a look at its disparate parts, they neither add up nor have anything constructive to teach.

It's that much more of a shame when Fuqua feels the need to throw a bucket of blood and a circus of explosions right in their faces.
