It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Blistering performances.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Some people say this movie has zero story, I disagree, our beloved Denzel Washington is playing the role of a person with a big heart that helps people in need. What more story do you need? Very nice film, I always wanted to see bad people suffering in movies and good people succeeding.

Probably the dumbest movie of all time. Might be watchable with a labotomy.

I liked how the movie led the viewer into the story without giving a full background of Robert McCall's character (played by Denzel Washington). This way there's a little mystery lingering around him the whole movie and the viewer is given some bits and pieces that he or she can put together on their own. That said, the peaceful start of the movie "goes south" real fast once McCall pisses off the wrong people so he becomes the target himself. One thing I can say for sure - you don't want to find yourself on Robert McCall's bad side.I found this movie really entertaining as it kept me in suspense the whole time and also guessing what twist might come next. The psychological battle between the protagonist and his nemesis was very well done. So were the fight scenes which were brutal and merciless at times.The ending and the resolution was a bit amusing to me, since Denzel unleashed his inner-MacGyver in order to deal with matters at hand. I might get some strange flashbacks the next time I visit supplies retail store :)

There is no bigger fan of Denzel Washington than yours truly. Dude is just great at his job. When a person's chosen profession is to portray other people than yourself, it's going to require a lot of studying. Or maybe just a lot of common sense. I think almost anyone with enough nerve can probably do some acting. All you have to do is watch how other folks do things in normal circumstances , and imitate them. Yeah right... Denzel does every personality known to man in the most convincing way. From the super dork, to the cerebral peace keeper, to the slightly deranged family man, to the lovingly hateful detective. I like real stuff in movies. The kind of thing that is actually possible for me or someone I know to witness on a given day. The ONE MAN ARMY kinda movie is not really in that realm. I mean does anyone actually have an affiliation with a person like this? Please tell me where these people live. Hollywood has always done a good job of making Marvel comic heros seem to be normal. They make Gotham city and Metropolis look like everyday cities that just happen to have a dude in tights flying around saving days like kids save baseball cards. But I believe this should type of movie has its place. A place for anyone other than D.W. I don't know. I just think he's above this kids stuff ...stuff that just CANNOT HAPPEN.
