And those aren't the only reasons, though it's difficult to imagine anyone else pulling off the role of a cold-blooded vigilante, whose also a warm-hearted friend and neighbor.
The Movie Slut, not a lover of violence on or off the screen, has to admit that it's satisfying to see evil-doers get their just desserts. And they do in this movie. Oh, boy do they.
The pacing of this movie is spot on. The subplots are as engaging as the main event. One of these involves a Holocaust survivor. Another, a Latino woman whose vegetable garden is destroyed by thugs.
The Equalizer exists in a colorblind world in which everyone deserves to live their lives in peace. And if that doesn't work out. Well, he makes sure the culprits pay.
Denzel! Denzel! Denzel! Denzel! Denzel!
