When You Say Action You've Said it All

   It’s been awhile since we’ve have seen Denzel Washington in a movie since he stared in “ 2 Guns ” with co star MarkWalburg . " The Equalizer " is by far his best work in the action movie genre.    Based on the 80’s TV show “ The Equalizer ” starring Edward Woodward , the Equalizer at the beginning of the film seems like your normal everyday person. 9 to 5 job, friendly, and you would never expect of what kind of dark past he had. Once Washington’s character befriended a girl named Terri (“ Chole Grace Motez ”) who was under the control of some ultra violent Russian gangsters who almost kill her.

   Hey action movie fans! I know it’s been awhile since my last blog,  but now I’m back and plan on bringing you previews and reviews on the latest action films.    In theatres this weekend is the next installment of the Planet of the Apes prequel series.
