Man on Fire was good, this looks like it was made for 12 year olds. You seriously think in any honest representation of reality you're going to time your killing of 5 people at close range, and use a shot glass a prop in killing them? Retard 12 year old brain power at work, whoever designed that scene *bravo*.

Who said Man on Fire wasn't good?
It looks entertaining. Denzel plays these parts very well so I'm pretty sure the movie will be very enjoyable to me personally.
I could give less of a fuck about realism in my action movies, if I wanted that I'd watch a documentary.
The original show with Edward Woodward was shit though.

Saw this last night, went in expecting Denzel to kick some ass and it delivered.
Starts slow but builds to a worthy payoff. It earns it's rating as well, we're not talking Saw levels of gore here but you'll see most impacts with few cut aways.
It's no oscar contender but it is entertaining. Once he decides things are going down, he pretty much just walks around with iddqd and noclip.

Just saw it. Fun movie to just turn your brain off and watch Denzel fuck shit up in semi graphic fashion.
If you liked the first Taken you'll like this.

Yeah that was a good action scene. My favourite part, and it directly answered what I hated about
movies like Sin City, where they have a corrupt bad guy who is too high up the food chain, and therefore untouchable and left as a loose end. Not here, he pretty much wipes the whole organization out lol

Saw it today, was pretty good. I normally don't mind the overly ridiculous precision killer thing (IE Taken) but there was almost too many surreal perfections in Denzel's character. At least Lian Neeson uses a gun and is just deadly accurate. Denzel has to play too many games with props like Jackie Chan that just starts to border on wall breaking.

Except...
It's a concrete nailer. The cartridge versions use .22+ cartridges as propellent. I'm not sure about the power having never shot anyone with one, but they definitely do have plenty of force behind them.

Will drive a nail into 3" of concrete so I guess I'm not sure why a shoulder would be a problem.

Slow your roll, this wasn't close to Man on Fire. Equalizer was a fun time but Man on Fire is a legitimately good movie.

Need confirmation from other parties now...is it legit to call this movie "essentially" Man on Fire 2, or no?
