The story has been around – forever, and predates Western culture. It’s re-born all of the time in films and in television series’ but in this case they got it right.
Denzel Washington is brilliant (as usual) in this film and I give it a very high rating. It’s not a short film, but the balance of action, suspense and plot development (the beat) is as perfect as I have seen it in a feature film. The Russian mafia tattoos are well done and accurate as is much of the plot development, which makes the whole thing so much more interesting.
Rating: MUST SEE 9 out of a possible 10. The only reason it gets a 9 is because the plot line is so well worn – but worn or not, they really pulled off a great movie.

I'm not much on today's films. John Wayne – where are you when we need you? I know, I know – DEAD.
Thank you. Looks like my daughter and I have a movie to see next weekend.
Sounds like a really good movie.
I think that you'd enjoy it.
This is one I think that you might like, Wo. Go mid-day/mid-week when there's nobody in the theater and it will feel like a private screening.
Let me know if you enjoy it.
Looks like a good one to see, thanks for the heads up.
I sympathize with the Denzel character. The plot takes it a bit over the top as "Robert McCall asks permission to play" – but it makes sense. Think on your peach colored blanket. Nobody will get that but you.
I will take it to the movie with me…
