"I have done bad things in my life that I'm not proud of but I promised someone I love that I would never ever do that again.You make your choice and chose to make a difference" Heroes doesn't exist or do they? Depends on how you define a hero.Every movie depicts a good man who get to save someone in the end. In this movie,Mccal has a secret past he decided to put behind him only to be confronted with the need to save a girl.Unknown to him,he came face to face with a a Russian gangster involving high ranking police officers and influential politicians. He doesn't need a mask when dealing with the enemy face to face.His enemies knows him but the girl he saved doesn't know what he did for her.It's not the usual movie where the leading man kills everyone who comes his way morbidly and you don't have any logical reason to explain how he did it.This is one of the things why I loved Denzel Washington's movies.It doesn't insult my intelligence.His movies are informative and he doesn't need a hot,big boobs and booty leading lady to attract viewers.
Well,I'm familiar with the breaking of glass,mysterious killing and all but the movie was very interesting because of Washington.He puts that interesting character on the movie.There's something in him that makes me excited and thrilled watching.He just had that sympathetic connection with his audience. I'm not much into action movies these days specially the new ones but there's a big exception when it comes to Washington's movies.He just doesn't disappoint his audience.There's something in him,a bit of naughtiness and toughness when trying to catch the bad guys. This movie was in no way sexualized or overly romanticized.It was a violent but also a clean movie.It was exciting and scary.Watching this movie makes me feel like there's just a man out there who genuinely just want to help and protect women without wanting sex in return.He was just a concern citizen with a kind heart.Just a regular guy who works in a shop who just feel the need to do the things he needed to do in the name of humanity. I really love Washington.The straight mysterious kind face.The way he torture his enemies and the way he can look up women without perving on them.It was like meeting him makes you instantly feel you have a father,a protector and someone you can entrust your whole life without doubt. CHOICES One moral lesson I can draw from this movie is the choice we make in life when caught in certain circumstances.It turns out most of the men who run the illegal business used to be good people.The cop used to be a good cop. Mccal gave him the chance to be redeem himself,to be do the right thing and to be good again.The cop seemed to take that path.Circumstances made us,define us and we can tell many things about the person just based on the choices they make. He said he had done some bad things in his life which he is not proud of.But he promised someone he love that he will never go back to that path again.He made his choice and he made a huge difference. WHAT DO YOU SEE WHEN YOU LOOK AT ME I think this is a very good question that we can ask ourselves as part of evaluation.Before we ask people,we can actually ask our selves first.What do we see when we see ourselves in front of the mirror? It was a good movie.Worth watching!
