Director : Antoine Fuqua
Running Time : 133 mins
After having retired from working in black ops, Robert McCall (Washington) tries to live a quiet life, working at a hardware store and pretty much keeping to himself, but when he meets and befriends a prostitute named Alina (Moretz) he witnesses her poor treatment by the Russian mob that own her and decides to take matters into his own hands.
Fans of the 1980s television series might wonder where McCall’s detective agency is in this updated version. Here, instead of being employed by people to investigate cases the police aren’t interested in, he just does things off his own back and goes vigilante on folks who bother his friends, from crooked cops and shoplifters, to the Russian mob. The movie is fun, and the cast do a sterling job with the material, but if you like your movies a bit more down to earth then the over the top violence and the very idea that a man in his sixties can take down an entire gang on his own might seem a little far-fetched.
