It's really not. That film at least had a revenge plot that made sense. Fuqua had to go to great lenghts to come up with a shit excuse for Washington to wreck havoc in The Equalizer. Which wouldn't even be a big problem if he didn't use more than an hour for it.

So
FUCKIN
Right
You know what, Nathaniel, maybe you're right about Morgan Freeman after all.
I genuinely love you Tom Hardy, and I'm glad there's someone who actually bothers to click on my youtube links :lol
Good one
But yeah, the scene at the DIY store was one of the things I really liked about it. This film was perfect for a 90 minutes action flick. Why did we need see so many conversations between Moretz and Washington at the beginning? We all knew what her story was right from the first time. I think it would have done the film good if they had chosen to just set up the side characters very minimal and go all out with the action scenes. Pacing is what wrong with this film. And the funny thing is, he took so much time to introduce Moretz and in the end her character still got zero depth. Now that's just a waste of time.
Nothing to analyze, it was shit. And that last segment was so fucking boringTold my parents I didn't like The Equalizer and that they shouldn't watch it. Apparently they seen it last week and of course my dad liked it. Told me he'd expected me not to like it. He thought the film had a great story. Then I told him the drama part was pretty half assed and one scene with Bill Pullman in the middle was an ever bigger waste of time. His closing argument was that I over analysed it
Apparenly my mum was also a little upset I had to 'demolish' that movie. I basically told them what's in the post above and said I didn't like it. Parents are mystical creatures sometimes
I clicked it but closed it instantly.
I just can't watch videos like that Yurt pls understand.
I understand, dc89 Jr, and I appreciate the clickI clicked it but closed it instantly.

The inanimate object scene still kills me. So fucking brilliantDo not judge Ralph Fiennes if you haven't seen In Bruges.
No, do not talk about anything unless you've seen In Bruges.
Go now.

The Equalizer was awful. Didn´t really knew if it wanted to be a serious drama or a fun action movie and it failed on both departments. In terms of action scenes, John Wick makes The Equalizer look like a Teletubbies episode.
I did like some of the action scenes. The final one was great, with his improvised weaponry. The scene with the cops and the one at the start were good too. Only didn't that I didn't understood was why every action scene started with Denzel going into focus mode or whatever the hell it was supposed to be.
Gotta see John Wick.

Ched Evans in talks with Oldham. Hmmmmmmmmm

Also Daniel Taylor wrote an atrocious piece of shite in the guardian im not even gonna bother linking to to avoid giving this hack clicks.
Cements himself as the worst football writer in the country by a street. Takes some doing to beat Henry of Winter. Utterley pointless drivel with potentially libellious allegations against Jack Tordoff.
Mixing politics and football. Then summat about Martinez and a weird bitter ending about Fergie getting a knighthood.

We are going to lose today.
Because Fletcher will start
Him being the match day poster boy breaks my heart.
There's Mata, bless him, saying it's going to be a physical battle, and we're sending an unfathomably weak and confused bloke out to hold our midfield together.
LTTP here, but when a thread in OT pops up asking "you're stuck on an island, what three TV shows do you take with you?", I will answer
1. Kane's nutmeg of Terry, followed by Terry's forlorne face, until the end of time.
2. Kane's nutmeg of Terry, followed by Terry's forlorne face, until the end of time in slow motion.
3. Kane's nutmeg of Terry, followed by Terry's forlorne face, until the end of time to 'Crazy in Love'.
Sensational.

Daniel Taylor is a very good football writer, one of the best for sure.
I can't unsee Marotta's face on his lower backI bloody love unintentionally gormless fan art
Are you hoping for a big performance from him monday?
Yeah, I fancy the big man against Liverpool's defence
I've never found Daniel Taylor to be a particularly good football writer. Content of his weekly column is usually pretty boring, and I don't really like his style of writing. He has occasional good articles and he is the head football writer at the Guardian so he must have his fans.
