With a script by action specialist Richard Wenk ("The Expendables" and "The Equalizer") and directed by Antoine Fuqua ("The Magnificent Seven" 2016) this one never lags.
Part of Fuqua's cast:
- Denzel Washington ("Fences") Robert McCall has a new problem based on an old one, he could never overlook a wrong, and something very wrong just happened.
- Melissa Leo ("Snowden") Susan Plummer is a friend McCall can trust. She was in his old department and worked with the same crew. We watch a crime being committed which is assigned to her to investigate.
- Bill Pullman ("The Equalizer") is her husband Brian. He still writes books.
- Ashton Sanders ("Moonlight") Miles is a neighbor boy our hero can see is going off the rails. Something must be done and we in the audience find ourselves deeply involved in his story.
- Pedro Pascal ("Game of Thrones") Dave York worked with McCall and Plummer. He has a wife and two children in the suburbs.
With two Academy Award-winning actors on tap plus lots of action and suspense, our audience left the theater exhausted but happy.
