Everybody comes to Hollywood ( as song by Madonna)

Hello again. Words song by the jazz singer John Lucien.  Words to live and die bye (no sic).  Today I saw the Equalizer on a pass card I was given.  Question.  Why do actors play the same brooding character over and over again?  At sixty, Denzel should know better. I liked the Equalizer; it had a so so  plot based on a TV show from thirty years ago. This movie was directed well, but the writing. Well I would have preferred if Chloe was protected throughout the film by Denzel. Sort of like the theme from one of his first roles when he was protecting Julia Roberts.

But……  typical in Hollywood movies we have the samurai warrior, Buddhist monk character who must save the day by slicing and dicing with anything that comes handy. Like Neo in the Matrix, this man is bulletproof and too dam fast.   Well I still liked the movie, even if it had that Freddy, Jason, and Halloween creepy ending that sort of gave me a PTSD flash back to the bloody accident that enveloped me decades ago.  Until next time. Ciao.
