This was described to me as an Amitabh Bachchan movie starring Denzel Washington. Bollywood reference for those that don't know.

I'm gonna check it out at some point.

Wow, this sh!t was HARD. I liked the slow build cause it made the ending even better. I won't compare it to "Training Day" but it's another good flick from these two. Maybe Denzel and Fuqua should do more movies together, kinda like Denzel and Tony Scott did. LOL @ Showdown at Home Depot. Denzel went in and had weapons at his disposal. He went straight Jason Friday 13th on those Russains, lol. The main russian bad guy was a GREAT villian. His dialogue and demeanor was crazy. My only beef is Chloe character was way under developed and just disappeared.

I felt like they really channeled "Taxi Driver" and yes "Man on Fire". But there was a suspense thriller/horror aspect to the movie too. Loved the whole CIA meeting he had with Bill Pullman and Melissa Leo. Overall I give it about B, way better than that "2 Guns" mess Denzel did with Marky Mark. But now Denzel has been on fire first "Flight", now this. Also there's actually room for Denzel to do his 1st sequel and franchise, well see.

just him playing mr. normal guy, showed him as cool with the homies at work, very regimented in his home life, and someone who genuinely looks out for people he cares about. nothing went down between them, she was just the "homie" from his late night stops at the diner.

thought i wrote my opinion. definitely a flick you can catch at home, but it was entertaining nonetheless. i want a little more backstory about what makes denzel so loyal and why he felt the need to protect others, but dude was cool as fukk on his home alone shyt in home depot

yea these two things bothered me the most, especially the ladder. i mean him and the white girl werent even that cool, there really wasnt no real sympathy angle for her, as in a reason for him to go through all that just to rescue some white girl just cause she got beat up. But as far as denzel and the russian not fighting, that had 2 be the biggest mistake about this movie, i mean the russian was so tough with his shirt off doing work outs and shyt, gettin me all pumped for a final fight, and he dies from a nail gun like :why:

He was gonna pay for her to leave the biz. Him being ex cia and her being underage, he felt like he couldn't sit back and let this happen. Plus they had to be close. She knew all about his book, his name, and he knew her life.

After they shytted on him, he went cia on them then called it a day.

Everything after that was them coming after him. So he had to destroy them completely or they'd never stop looking for him. Like he said, he gave them all a choice. They all chose to not leave him alone. They all got bodied for that choice :myman:
