A movie that knows exactly what it wants, and delivers it. Washington plays "the Man", a role only McQueen or Newman used to handle; the cool, suave avenger with a stare that kills and skills that deliver vigilante justice. Add to that one of the most ruthless and cunning villains of recent memory, and you have an engrossing action movie that comes along only every few years. And who knew Home Depot could act as the most advanced armory of stealth weapons? Fuqua has become the auteur of great crime movies among lower socioeconomics - a Spike Lee/Michael Mann combo.
PS: Thank you, Mohammad Reza I., for the recommendation!
