He single-handedly makes these films worth watching through his sheer force of charisma, but he deserves better than this sort of exploitative grindhouse fare. And Washington is an actor who, if anything, is overqualified for this sort of thing, a two-time Oscar winner as comfortable playing Shakespeare, Eugene O’Neill and August Wilson as he is holding a gun. It’s a shame, because the film’s vigilante formula is of the tried-and-true variety, its heyday stretching back decades to the likes of Death Wish. We don’t doubt for a second that these people deserved what they got, but it’s hard not to think that McCall, and director Antoine Fuqua, got a little too much pleasure from it. This installment begins with a loving depiction of the aftermath of a typical McCall massacre, with the camera caressing the mutilated bodies of victims who’ve clearly been killed by a virtuoso of his craft. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what the big-screen incarnation of the character has turned into, dispatching his victims with a relish not seen since the glory days of Freddy Krueger and Michael Myers. He often had to resort to violence, but he wasn’t what you’d call a killing machine.Ĭast: Denzel Washington, Dakota Fanning, David Denman, Eugenio Mastrandrea, Gaia Scodellaro, Remo Girone, Andrea Scarduzio, Andrea Dodero Woodward’s Robert McCall was plenty tough, but he mainly turned the tables on the villains through well-honed savvy and street smarts. The films are loosely, and I mean loosely, based on the classic ‘80s television series starring the debonair Edward Woodward as a former intelligence agent devoting himself in retirement to helping innocent people being victimized by criminals. No, the real porn in these movies is strictly of the snuff film variety. When the bad guys hungrily scarf down plates of spaghetti, the marinara sauce looks … OK. This third installment of the Denzel Washington-starring action franchise features plenty of gorgeous scenery, but barely any attention is paid to the region’s gustatory delights. Usually, films set in photogenic Italian seaside villages deliver ample displays of food porn with close-ups of mouthwatering pastas, fresh fish and gelato. You'll have to stick it to your door frame, but you'll find it's far more practical than the Remo DoorCam 2.There’s one cliché, and only one, that The Equalizer 3 manages to avoid. So, unlike a video doorbell - with which a visitor has to press a button, sending you a specific alert - I have to open the Remo app to see if I need to get up and answer the door.įor $80 less, you can get the Ring Video Doorbell and an indoor chime, which is more useful and secure. However, there's no way to tell if the motion detector was tripped by a visitor, someone delivering a package, or a cat running across the threshold. Any time something triggered the DoorCam 2, I would get a notification that it detected motion. The other issue I have is with the concept. Then there are the other features, such as scheduling, motion zones and person detection, which you can find on most other video doorbells and security cameras. We consider two-factor authentication the bare minimum, and it's something Remo's app doesn't have. For starters, there's no sort of security for your password or the camera. But despite the DoorCam2's good-quality video, there are too many things that it lacks.
