McCall believes he has put his mysterious past behind him and dedicated himself to beginning a new, quiet life. But when he meets Teri, a young girl under the control of ultra-violent Russian gangsters, he can’t stand idly by – he has to help her. Armed with hidden skills that allow him to serve vengeance against anyone who would brutalize the helpless, McCall comes out of his self-imposed retirement and finds his desire for justice reawakened. If someone has a problem, if the odds are stacked against them, if they have nowhere else to turn, McCall will help. He is The Equalizer.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A lean, efficient thriller about a quiet man's brutal awakening to purpose when someone needs protecting. It's all controlled intensity, methodical violence in service of avenging the powerless.
