The Equilizer

I guess I always thought The Equalizer was about revenge and making wrong things right. There’s only a little of that here, but it’s mostly about reading books and/or shooting people and not a lot of righting wrongs. Which is too bad. Revenge is such a powerful and worthy theme, to squander that is a shame, which is what happened here. A better movie about this exact same subject, Man on Fire, also with Denzel, came out a few years ago. Check that one out instead.
