A Vigilante

The are several instances when Olivia Wilde’s vigilante Equalizer has the drop on the evil man, and for reasons that are unclear, she doesn’t break his neck. So, there’s a lot of wish-fulfillment, and a lot of simplifying of complicated themes about abuse, but there isn’t a lot of killin’. And there’s needs to be more killin’. It’s not like the lady isn’t ready. She spends about 25% of this movie “training” – punching and exercising in shitty hotel rooms. Kill a motherfucker or two, lady! Quit pulling punches.
