If you want to write something, I am afraid that I will not move my brain for a long time or have some degradation. In the evening I put the Oscar again Denzel. Washington's starring "The Wrongdoer" revisited. In fact, when this film first came out, it was only because of the blessing of the lead actor Denzel that I watched, and it was still horizontally online, and it did not disappoint (Uncle Dan's movie is really a classic). The whole movie is quite eye-catching, and I personally feel that it is a good work.
Although the film's routine is not new, it is still a typical Hollywood action movie, and the villain is still a Russian gangster, but the overall plot brings people a kind of exhilarating emotion from time to time. The gang provokes a beautiful citizen (McCall), although McCall is superficially a middle-aged uncle with an unassuming appearance, but he is hidden in the city, and his real identity is a former member of the Black Ops Commando, a top agent of the Eight Classics. Tired of that violent life, he broke away from the organization and came to Boston in a fake death form, becoming an employee of a building materials supermarket and living an ordinary nine-to-five life. He likes to go to that restaurant and set up the tableware and books in a fixed position, orderly, meticulous, seemingly obsessive-compulsive. On this day he met Elena while reading at the restaurant and learned about her tragic life. Elena is a young prostitute controlled by a Russian gangster who wants to be a singer despite not having freedom. One day Elena was forced to receive an annoying fat rich man, it seems that something went wrong during the service, and the gang beat Elena badly in order to kill a hundred people. McCall's sense of justice exploded, and he wanted to stand up for her and get her out of this terrible thing completely. So he single-handedly broke into the Russian gang to live in the Boston branch, did not speculate, and directly destroyed the group. Here is a small climax at the beginning of the film, which makes people feel bright. "Denzel" shows us what a top agent is, calm thinking, neat hands, 16 seconds to eliminate the entire members of the Boston branch of the Russian gangster. The film abandons the old-fashioned muscle collisions like Schwarzenegger, Stallone, etc. in favor of fatal professional killing moves, which feels like this is what reality should feel.
Of course, the Russian gangsters are not idle people, and immediately sent a top "killer" who specialized in dealing with the tricky affairs of the gang to lead a small group of "elites" to start hunting down and killing McCall, and after many fights, finally ushered in the final showdown at McCall's work place. There is another climax in the place, the scene layout, action design and a variety of local killing methods are really amazing, with passionate sound effects, the bad guys have fallen to the ground, get it done. I thought this was the end, it was over. But the picture turned, came to the Russian gang headquarters, McCall directly smashed the old nest to electrocute the gang boss by technical means, completely ending all this.
Throughout the film, McCall shows us what it means to be completely thorough and clean. Gangster bosses, bribed policemen, corrupt officials, etc. are all single-handedly, truly beautiful country faction! In fact, Hollywood blockbusters generally run through a cultural thread, that is, the values of beautiful countries, such as personal heroism, world police and so on. Of course, it is also due to the extreme confidence brought about by the huge profits brought by the two world wars! The so-called good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and punishing evil and promoting good is the consistent ending of this kind of theme film. Life is back at peace, Elena can work hard to achieve her dreams, and McCall continues to live in seclusion.
