Caught this one last night. Growing up, I watched the tv series with the older British guy and liked that a lot so I was less than enthusiastic to see yet another radical change with a movie version of a tv show. But they did a really great job of it. Great movie.
Kinda predictable here and there but probably not a lot of variety to be had in action movies. Towards the end, kinda wanted an all kickass movie where the hero doesn't get hurt like in the old 80s movies. Went from total terminator badass to mere talented mortal really quick. But the very end was a nice touch, the 'snake's head.' And the walk out passed the bodies was cute. Good line too when he goes to see his old friends, "He didn't come for help, he came for permission." That was a good line.
In ways, better than "Kingsman" but that was campy almost parody type movie, and Equilizer was more realistic. So if you liked the old tv series, you'll like this. Even threw in the ad online offering to help as in the tv series at the very very end(albeit in a newspaper.)
Good score/soundtrack too especially that gothy piece during the big showdown in the store.
