The Equalizer is the new Denzel Washington action film from the director of Training Day. It’s a little over 2 hours long, with a slow build, some well orchestrated set pieces, and a truly disquieting bad guy – some scenes are uncomfortable viewing.
It’s a muted performance from Washington, but this well suits the character in question. If you’d like to watch Denzel Washington be a nice guy with a dark past, and you don’t mind some uncomfortable scenes, this is your film.
