Denzel Washington is doing a remake of “The Equalizer” for a series of films. That is the one I hope will live up to the original.
LOVED “The Equalizer”
That said, it worked because Edward Woodward was a great actor, was able to deliver his lines completely dead-pan, and portray the impression that he really could deliver on his threats. It didn’t need to be explained, you knew from the first moment that this was a violent person.
Somehow, I don’t see Denzel Washington being able to play that believably.
Actually, there’s a run on white movies being redone in ‘blackface’. ‘About Last Night’ was one. Bombed.
Hollywood is out of bullets. No good liberal scripts left.
