They have excellent villains, is the thing.As does Small Town Crime, which channels the late Elmore Leonard better than most other movies:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GW0Cuhlu5wI

equalizer was unsubtle but 'stately' is a good description and you just cant argue with denzel going ice-cold when they turn down their chance
fits in with jack reacher imo (maybe a point lower on the scale), standard product but delivered with a bit of care. plot either isnt there at all or came in a flatpack, characters likewise, but really nicely done, shot, hits its beats.

what if obsessive compulsive disorder, but it makes u a better killerit’s hard to imagine anyone but denzel pulling off such a delicate balancing act, the whole enterprise really relies entirely on his star power

halloween but good guy is otm, really - there’s not really much tension in whether denzel is ever in any danger, the real pleasure is watching him mete out unflinching bursts of violence justice
