I read the reviews and almost skipped the remake of "The Equalizer". But I liked the movies, so I thought let's give it a try. Yes, it is a bit on the nose sometimes, but it doesn't warrant all the negativity in the reviews. Come on, you believe that old geezers like Denzel Washington, Liam Neeson or Silvester Stallone can beat up gangs of highly trained killers singlehandedly, but you draw the line at Queen Latifah? It's entertainment, and I give it a solid 6. The acting is better than NCIS Los Angeles, a little bit too much woke stuff for my taste sometimes, but these are the times. Relax, if Russel Crowe can play a gladiator then Queen Latifah can play an equalizer.
