Comments on: A Summary of THE EQUALIZER http://www.badmenagerie.com/a-summary-of-the-equalizer/ In Which The Menagerie Misbehaves Fri, 13 May 2016 15:56:43 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.4.3 By: alex wu http://www.badmenagerie.com/a-summary-of-the-equalizer/#comment-488 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 10:59:04 +0000 http://www.badmenagerie.com/?p=4717#comment-488 So I just saw this movie. I thought it was pretty good. Formulaic. It is violent, but the violence is not as cringe-inducing as The Raid 2, which I saw the night before. I don’t remember the 80s version being this violent. Heh. It helped that I like Denzel. He has a lot of screen charisma, so I like just about everything he is in. The same goes for Tom Cruise. The film reminded me of Man on Fire, which is the same story but better. Maybe it’s that I’m getting old, I guess I like movies where old men kick ass – like all the recent Liam Neeson movies.

Huuurrrr. 😀 Can we just put all three of them in a Hunger Games arena with Katniss narrating the events?

With his braveheart, he’d surely payback all of them with passion. But I think Denzel would win, since he’d simply set the other two on fire.

The story is only funny because the circ saw was a corded one, and the cord ran out.

(I wasn’t there for this, I note, so it also may be an urban legend, embellished by alumni for credulous underclassmen.)

I’d totally see that in an IMAX *and* buy the blu-ray.

Oh man, this is hilarious, because my friend and I were JUST talking about how Liam Neeson and Denzel should’ve totally switched roles. “Liam walks around calmly and badassedly and Denzel angrily searches for someone kidnapped. You know, switch it up,” was what she said. 😀
