40 in TV not happy with color Samsung /Visio Better pic

I wouldn't consider this one of his best movies...

I purchased this title for the Steelbook packaging as advertised on the BB web site. It is NOT the steelbook, but the older Metal-Pak packaging. Be wary if you only want the steelbook.

This is not Denzel Washington, the director sould have not cast denzel for this movie. Hes not a comic book hero his a great America veteran actor. Columbia Pictures you all wrong for this one.

stopped working a couple of times like stuttered then just stopped period, very disappointed. I just got a bad dvd

1 OUT OF 4 STEELS WERE GOOD. WISH THEY COULD HANDLE THEM BETTER.

EXTREMELY violent movie. Don't waste time watching. Disappointing with strange storyline

I did not like this steel book because no digital COPY! why wouldn't you have it!

the steelbook edition I ordered arrived damaged. It was scratched and dented.

I remember the show with the British actor on TV. The movie was almost as good as what I remember.

I have a Blu Ray DVD movie that I cannot play on my new Lenovo 100 IdeaPad.

would be a great movie if the language was not so strong

Picture was to dark, could not see clearly any of the filming in the night.

Got a "doesn't recognize format" on the 4K discue.

Not what i was expecting in a movie from him..i would not watch again.

An excellent thriller in the retired-spy-becomes-vigilante genre, AKA Taken. Based on the 1980s TV show with the same theme, except in the TV show the spy is a stuck up old British guy and in the movie it's an old black guy who works at Home Depot and hangs out with bums. That is sort of the most unbelievable part of the movie, that this dumpy old bald *** that looks like somebody's dad, could be so agile with Spiderman reflexes. If you suspend your disbelief that far, the movie is actually really entertaining because its got that Max Paine, bullet time, stop action effect. The hero is sort of this invincible Flash. Also, the bad guys are a bunch of low life Russian mobster illegal alien pimps, the kind of villain you love to see getting whacked. Luckily, there are goodly supply of them to be terminated. The head villain is an ex-Spetsnatz contract killer psychopath who looks and talks like Kevin Spacey and is oddly named "Teddy". Basically it's the return of Kaiser Soze. The most annoying thing about the film is all the time spent on "character buildup" in which the Equalizer does community service trying to help his loser buddies at Home Depot. Super spy donates charity time to pathetic wannabe security guard. Its just incredibly stupid United Way stuff that just has you taking bathroom breaks until the killing starts again. Another oddity of the film is director Fuqua's obsessive cinematography. You always know you are in trouble when the director starts taking control of the camera. There are more shots of Denzel Washington's eyeball than you will ever want to see in your lifetime. You will also get electron microscope closeups of other obscure parts of his anatomy such as his septum, his thenar, etc. In retrospect the overkill on the art shots is not too bad, but it definitely makes the film more "interesting" at a certain level. Part of the fun of the movie is The Equalizer getting stuck in situations no ordinary person could possibly survive, so you are like, "I wonder how he is getting out of this one" and he always has these cool MacGyver solutions to the situation. Overall, a pretty entertaining film.

Thrilling and full of action. Keeps you at the edge and is such a good movie. Cant wait to get part 2.

best action movie !! denzel Washington made great movies all time

This is a great movie, a must see for any Denzel fan!

Denzel’s character is well portrayed as a presumed dead government special agent. He lives a new anonymous life at a retail hardware store. His OCD results in him hanging out at a diner every night while reading a book. There, a young Russian is also a regular customer at the diner. Then one night, she is badly beaten by the Russian mob. This causes him to seek justice against the mobsters, not only those that hurt her, but also dirty police officers shaking down his retail store co-workers. The main villain is an intense character and a very remorseless person. Killing innocents and brutal beatings is normal for him. The villain is busy searching for the person who killed the mobsters, resulting in a climactic battle between the villain and Denzel. The highlight of the action scenes are the different methods that Denzel takes out the mobsters. Guns are not the primary weapon used, but regular items. Very clever to script the choreograph the scenes. Overall an entertaining action film.
