The Equalizer Trailers

McCall believes he has put his mysterious past behind him and dedicated himself to beginning a new, quiet life. But when he meets Teri, a young girl under the control of ultra-violent Russian gangsters, he can’t stand idly by – he has to help her. Armed with hidden skills that allow him to serve vengeance against anyone who would brutalize the helpless, McCall comes out of his self-imposed retirement and finds his desire for justice reawakened. If someone has a problem, if the odds are stacked against them, if they have nowhere else to turn, McCall will help. He is The Equalizer.

Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
eric-18268 Antoine fuqua is great, denzel washington is himself . love the suspense . aaaah ! the satisfaction when the character is a vigilante using his evil knowledge to do in the bad guys ... (until they go crazy themselves) ...
Ocean Girl I saw this on FX recently in preparation for seeing Equalizer 2 with my brand new MoviePass (here's to hoping MP is still around for years to come!). I loved Equalizer. It was action-packed and not boring at all. Highly recommend!
mts-91319 Of course Denzel is the man and makes all movies look good BUT this script was terrible. The action scenes good, fight scenes better but everything else average and predictable. Hopefully this is the last one.Side note: disappointed that Denzel's first sequel was something as blasé as this. Any of his previous movies made as a sequel would have had more of an impact.
nealkattman There is no bigger fan of Denzel Washington than yours truly. Dude is just great at his job. When a person's chosen profession is to portray other people than yourself, it's going to require a lot of studying. Or maybe just a lot of common sense. I think almost anyone with enough nerve can probably do some acting. All you have to do is watch how other folks do things in normal circumstances , and imitate them. Yeah right... Denzel does every personality known to man in the most convincing way. From the super dork, to the cerebral peace keeper, to the slightly deranged family man, to the lovingly hateful detective. I like real stuff in movies. The kind of thing that is actually possible for me or someone I know to witness on a given day. The ONE MAN ARMY kinda movie is not really in that realm. I mean does anyone actually have an affiliation with a person like this? Please tell me where these people live. Hollywood has always done a good job of making Marvel comic heros seem to be normal. They make Gotham city and Metropolis look like everyday cities that just happen to have a dude in tights flying around saving days like kids save baseball cards. But I believe this should type of movie has its place. A place for anyone other than D.W. I don't know. I just think he's above this kids stuff ...stuff that just CANNOT HAPPEN.
