We very rarely go to the actual theaters anymore but made an exception for this movie. Denzel, the cast, the scenery and the story line were stellar. The demonic Hellyweird anti God agenda of the previews were a different story and so obvious. Made us want to demand our money back and wait for Equalizer 3 to come on Amazon before the movie ever got started.
Having said that, these directors took this movie to a whole new level of gruesome. When we watch movies, like Jack Reacher, like the Accountant or Taken, it is not about the graphic violence, it is about the hero stepping up and taking care of the bad guys when we cannot. Just a different kind of Superman if you will. Furthermore, the movie makers usually set a tone of how bad the bad guys are, so you want to see justice, but this movie started with a gruesome scene that looked like a psychopath had been responsible for the bloodshed.
The movie is worth seeing but there were some incongruous moments.
