The Equalizer (2014)
Denzel perfects His Craft...
In his previous movies such as Man On Fire and The Book of Eli, Denzel plays the Avenger so perfectly, it was difficult to believe he could substantially improve his performance.
And yet, after just walking out of the theater, I must say that Denzel makes Jason Bourne look like, well....an understudy.
The action is so palpable, you could reach out and touch it, albeit extremely violent.
The co-actors' performances, almost without exception, are spot-on.
The fact that it's shot in Boston by the same producers as The Town adds to the appeal.
The soundtrack is excellent! Eminen's song at the end was a surprise well as a Soundgarden track. Perfect!
The Veteran (2011)
An Intelligent, Thought-Provoking, Stark Movie..
I also agree that the British seem do this genre well. The principal actor did a fine job a very good job..earned every dollar. Another character's premises that the war on terrorism is all about GOD (guns,oil and drugs), used to keep people in control and in fear for economic reasons, is most likely, reality. Yet what I found most interesting was how how accurately the movie depicts the real present day London as an extremely somber, soul-sucking urban far-scape.. IMHO, it all sucks; the food, the atmosphere, everything..Woof. Sorry! And this treatment certainly rams that home. The shootout at the climax was a chilling, honestly portrayed rendition of violence, spot on... I found it to be a sad, uncomfortable, yet thought provoking and extremely entertaining movie. Job well done!
