The Equalizer Ratings & Reviews
- Lucas LeCompteApril 13, 2025My favorite part is when Robert goes "it's equalizing time" and equalizies all over the places.
- SkeltonMay 6, 2025I really enjoyed The Equalizer. It’s one of those films that doesn’t try to be too clever—it just knows exactly what it wants to be. Denzel Washington is brilliant as always. He’s calm, quiet, and you just know things are going to get messy when he’s pushed too far. The story’s simple: ex-something guy living a quiet life, sees something wrong, and decides to sort it out… in the most brutal way possible. And honestly, it’s so satisfying to watch. The way he plans everything out before taking people down is just cool. It’s like watching a chess player in an action movie. Some bits feel a bit slow at the start, but when it kicks off, it really kicks off. If you’re into revenge stories with a calm-but-deadly lead, this is definitely worth a watch. Solid 4 out of 5. Denzel makes it look effortless.
- 匚卂尺ㄥ3d ago1- Denzel Washington kills a dozen bad guys far far from his apartment and when he arrives home, he starts washing off his bloody hands. On the way back home his hands were bloody and no one cares. The cobs stop most people walking that time of the night, but fortunately no cobs are awake and our hero reaches to his destination safe and sound! 2- Once he steals a hammer from the stores he works. The day after that, he returns the hammer back on its shelf while wiping it out by a handkerchief. He forgot to wipe the hammer last night and came back to work carrying the bloody hammer in his hands! 3- At the end of the movie, he goes for the gangs boss. He passes through all bodyguards to reach Pushkin and kills them all. Pushkin is showering when Denzel arrives and he hasn't heard a voice or noise or sound of the conflict outside his room. Denzel Washington had asked the bodyguards not to make any sound and they all are good and obedient bodyguards! Fortunately, all anti-theft system are out of work! Mohammad Reza Nassiri, Iran
- Karen NakamuraJuly 20, 2025Disjointed but perfectly popcorn. Don’t try to think about the plot holes or why the bad guys act so irrationally. It’s all about the screen fluff.
- PhineasJuly 10, 2025This movie frustrates me so much, because it had 5 star potential if not for the third act. Denzel is amazing, and the first 2/3rds of this movie was incredible because it was gritty and grounded and above all, realistic. But then the scale overinflates dramatically (ship scene, I'm looking at you) and ends with a entertaining but Hollywood climax, and it loses the pacing it had at the beginning.
- Kevin WardJuly 2, 2025Solid Denzel action flick with a pretty bland story. Once Denzel actually starts kicking ass, it’s definitely a fun watch. I was late to the party on both is this and the John Wick franchises until earlier this year. Had I seen this before John Wick, I can imagine I might have rated this higher as a pure action flick. The action kind of pales in comparison to John Wick, though. Still, there’s not many leading men you can put above Denzel.
- adam3199June 29, 2025Brilliant. Humble man gets done wrong...exacts revenge. Denzel does this story well. Should have stopped at 1.
- kizale82May 5, 2025Awesome movie!
- Muhammad Al FatehJanuary 18, 2025Danzel Washington was cold! 🥶 Do the right thing!
