137. The Equalizer

Essential geri-action viewing in which Denzel takes out the entire Russian mob without once breaking a sweat or getting himself into any kind of peril. Well, up until the last two guys anyway...

How or why it's over two hours long I have no idea...

40. Brooklyn's Finest


I feel like I've seen Brooklyn's Finest many times before, not that it's without merit -it's just a bit 'familar'. Familiar actors, director, locations, plot lines, situations yadda yadda yadda.  It does still have it's plus points though; the excellent performances of the three main protagonists - especially Ethan Hawke as the under pressure cop trying to support his family while not lose his job, sanity and life.

Overall though is pretty much by the numbers and the ending 'kind of' delivers but its all so very matter of fact that you feel incredibly underwhelmed by the whole affair.

Oh, and at least Don Cheadle doesn't do his 'cawknee' accent.
