Synopsis: The Equalizer centers on Robert McCall, a former covert ops expert who, in an attempt to atone for a dark past, volunteers his services to people in need. Though it’s based on the 1980s TV series starring Edward Woodward, the movie role was reportedly tailored to suit Washington’s specific style and skills. The protagonist is described as ”a solitary, monastic figure who hates injustice.”
While the character may prefer to go at it alone, Washington has a solid supporting cast surrounding him. Chloë Grace Moretz plays a young prostitute, likened to Jodie Foster in Taxi Driver, who needs McCall’s help, while Marton Csokas plays the movie’s villain, a ruthless fixer for the Russian mob. Melissa Leo co-stars as McCall’s former handler from his counter-terrorism days. Haley Bennett , Robert Wahlberg and David Meunier also appear. Source
