On a Denzel Washington binge. Watched The Little Things and The Equalizer series.

i watched the little things just a couple weeks ago.

good movie.

i kept thinking how weird it was that the creepy guy looked a little like jared leto, but i really didn't accept it was him until i saw the credits.

Still haven't seen any equalizers, how are they?

Denzel Washington is a good actor and that’s the only reason I watched the movies. I like the way he speaks and portrays his characters. As an action/crime drama, it’s mediocre. He’s too old to get physical so he’s scripted as a super spy. Extremely intelligent, he can use tech to track down the bad guys. In hand-to-hand combat, he anticipates every move, parries every punch, hits every pressure point to immobilize the enemy, and never misses a shot. Definitely not Bourne-level fisticuffs. Nevertheless, it’s still a fun watch.

okay, thanks. I'll probably check them out at some point, I also have a big problem with casting older people in action movies.
