Double bill of action thrillers starring Denzel Washington. In 'The Equalizer' (2014) Robert McCall (Washington), a highly-skilled, ex-black ops commando, has trouble adjusting to the injustices of civilian life, where gangsters and criminals victimise the innocent. Though Robert has vowed to put his violent past behind him, when he meets Teri (Chloë Grace Moretz), a personable teenager whose life is blighted by the attentions of the Russian Mafia, he decides that enough is enough and deals out swift and brutal retribution.

Embracing his new role as 'The Equalizer', who can even the odds between the vulnerable and those who prey on them, McCall treads an increasingly dangerous and violent path. In the sequel 'The Equalizer 2' (2018), still struggling to accept the injustices of life, McCall uses his new career as a taxi driver to seek out bad people and punish them accordingly. When he discovers that his friend Susan Plummer (Melissa Leo) has been murdered, he puts all his effort in to finding her killers and making them pay.
