Denzel Washington does his finest work since Training Day, if not all-time. He’s charmingly terrifying. He has really mastered playing an ordinary guy that has extraordinary skills. His character in the film has so many dimensions to it, extremely meticulous. He doesn’t use or need any weapons. He completely relies on intellect and using his surroundings to get him out of trouble. The Equalizer, opening nationwide on September 26th is Denzel Washington’s best film in years. His performance in this film rivals the one of Training Day, in which he won an Oscar for. When you hear critics say this film will have you on the edge of your seat, well this film will actually have you on that edge. Edge is a theme that the film incorporates. It’s dark, gritty, gruesome, and fantastic.
