The Equalizer Thought

1/3/2018

So, I was watching TV and The Equalizer with Denzel Washington came on.  And I started thinking about all the people I know that think it’s a horrible movie.  I can’t understand that.  It’s your classic one man killing machine show.  I mean, come on.  It’s about a guy who works at a home store and “somehow” knows how to kill people and whoop their ass in about fifty billion different ways.  There’s really not a lot else you can expect out of that kind of plot except some crazy creative deaths and maybe some explosions.  Which we get.  Now, I’ll admit it takes this movie a bit to get going but, this guy really is something else.  He's obviously ex-CIA or Special Forces or with the Teams or something because he has contacts from the Agency and Washington.  This is a highly trained professional killer.  And he can do it anywhere.  He can kill in a restaurant with a book, in an office with two cork screws and a shot glass, in the home store with all kinds of stuff.  I mean, just watching him methodically and almost robotically destroy people is freakin’ awesome.  And it’s not like he’s a bad guy.  He’s a good guy.  He’s got good morals, a higher sense of right and wrong, and wants to afford the opportunity for redemption.  He just seems like such a fantastic killing machine and yet he is so completely human it’s almost hard to reconcile the two together.  Honestly, this character would have made a great comic book, in my opinion.  A high moral man traveling the world, snuffing out injustice and crime, leaving death and destruction in his wake, all the while, helping the lost, forgotten and destitute.  Hmmm.  Maybe it is already a comic book.  I’ll have to look into that.  I’ll let you guys know what I find out.
