Everything Actioncast: The Equalizer (2014)
This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach, and Chris are joined by special guest Justin to dish out some vigilante justice and discuss 2014’s The Equalizer, which came out ten years ago this week.
Denzel Washington plays Robert McCall, a former black ops operative trying to live a quiet life in Boston working at Home Mart (legally distinct from Home Depot). When a young woman he’s befriended, Alina (Chloe Grace Moretz), is brutally beaten by her Russian pimp, Robert decides to use his skill set to “equalize” the situation and inadvertently starts a one-man war with the Russian mob. The Russian kingpin sends the ruthless enforcer Teddy (Marton Csokas) to remedy the problem. The guys talk about the mini Equalizer subplots in the movie, pre-Stranger Things scumbag David Harbour, Denzel’s Sherlock Holmes vision, weaponized home improvement stores, and more.
Watch The Equalizer on Fubo, Paramount+, and the Roku Channel. Next week, Zach and Chris are kicking off an all-horror movie October with the 80s remake of The Blob, which is getting a limited edition 4K steelbook release.
