Parents advised to read before viewing film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers.
Sex & Nudity: Some small sexual references/ infrequent use of sexual language
Violence & Gore: The violence is not extreme as Rambo but it is fairly strong like Lone Survivor. This movie is by the same director as the movies Olympus Has Fallen and Training Day, so you should know what to expect if you've seen these.
A pole saw is put through a man's cheek
A man is electrocuted
Many bloody beat downs
A corkscrew is put through a man's mouth
A man is shot several times with a nail gun
A man's throat is slit
A man is shot in the neck, blood spatters
A man is hung by barbed wire
A man drills a whole in the back of another man's head
Profanity: Close to 35 F words, on par with Olympus and less than Lone Survivor. Other small obscenities are also sometimes used.
Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: Some drinking and smoking. Nothing to worry about.
Frightening/Intense Scenes: The R rating is mainly for the violence and some uses of language, but it is less than other movies.
Very graphic violence scattered throughout
Story: In The Equalizer, Denzel Washington plays McCall, a man who believes he has put his mysterious past behind him and dedicated himself to beginning a new, quiet life. But when McCall meets Teri (Chloë Grace Moretz), 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.
Likes : For some of us that grow in the 80s - 90s will know the old Equalizer series starring Edward Woodward as a ordinary man turn vigilante to help people like an enforce, This is a film that re-imagine of this series in to a film with outstanding promises.
From the trailer this film was sold for me i went in with high expectation & its delivered with a big bang, this truly is how good film should be done. The story is a little slow at first but what good about this is it introduce you to Denzel Washington character at a stead pace so you get to understand Robert McCall & he's is, from what he can do, is just amazing, his character you find a little mysterious as you see him doing thing's by the clock, but its also the action scene which are brilliant choreographed, what's clever is you notice that his character has some military back ground, from what you see i gathered his someone like (Liam nesson Character from taken but better i would go as far to say an special ops enforcer).
Chloë Grace Moretz Looking beautiful as ever is kind of a cameo role for the film, but you can tell from the start when you met her character Teri you can see straight off the bat she going to be the catalyst for the action to start man did it start,the action in this film is why this film should of been give a R-rate than a 15 cert because the fight scene were brutal,bloody & fast, which gave this film its edge as there are scene that will make you seat back in shock.
There is a seen which might be a bit confusing to some people with a CIA, FBI government official which is pretty clear if you understand what she is saying, which made it clear that Robert is a Covert Soldier, what was being said between this two is that Robert past made a promise to not get back in to the life he was in before but because he had no choice the fact the government couldn't touch the Russian Mafia, she gave him both permission to take them out as well as permission to break the promise this is the meaning of this scene.
This is a highly recommended film to watch at the cinema as this is a well choreograph & action pack film that not only blood & violent, but has a very power explosive concept that is how an action film should be.
Dislikes :Nothing wrong with this film
Overall : Action pack, Brilliant choreographed scene, brilliant acting, Denzel is phenomenal
Rating: 5 out of 5 for entertainment / 10 out of 10 for concept / action
