Trailer
Why watch this film?
If you're a fan of action packed, style laden and highly violent thrillers, 'The Equalizer 2' is just what you need. The feature length movie is a sequel to the 2014 hit, 'The Equalizer', which in turn was based off an 80s TV series. Starring in this new version is Denzel Washington, who never fails to deliver in intense roles. As a fun fact, this is the first time in his career that Washington has done a sequel to one of his earlier films.

Shooter
Mark Wahlberg brings to life a Shooter who abandons his military post after witnessing the death of a friend on a mission. 'Shooter' has great action sequences and puts to the test the whole discussion about how far a soldier should go for a cause. Despite the presence of patriotism, as in most North American productions, this debate is not lost. Reflections aside, the movie has a script, manages to combine intelligence and action in an engaging plot.
Tears of the Sun
Antoine Fuqua is one of the most interesting action filmmakers, with a bold and enthusiastic style, with good films in his filmography such as 'The Protector' and 'Seven Men and One Destiny'. In 'Tears of the Sun', he repeats the strategy of the award-winning 'Training Day' by mixing action with emotional drama. Here, specifically, this arises with the story of a group of soldiers who enter the Nigerian jungle to save a doctor and another group of 70 refugees. It is a strongly emotional movie, with some really impressive scenes. All highlighting the remarkable performances of Bruce Willis ('The Sixth Sense'), Monica Bellucci ('Irreversible') and Cole Hauser ('The Fast and the Furious').
The Day Sports Stood Still
"Not only sports stopped with the coronavirus pandemic, but this is the focus of HBO's documentary. 'The Day Sports Stood Still' talks about the sports competitions that had to stop in March 2020 and those that returned - such as the NBA and NFL. The production shows the side of the athletes and also of the directors of major events. It is interesting to look at the global crisis due to covid-19 and the power that sports have to entertain those who are at home, which is closer to a normal life."
Infinite
Based on D. Eric Maikranz's book 'The Reincarnationist Papers', 'Infinite' is a science fiction thriller that brings together director Antoine Fuqua ('The Equalizer') and Mark Wahlberg ('Day of the Attack'), with a premise that initially sounds interesting, but soon becomes pure incoherence. Wahlberg plays a man who has memories of skills he never learned and places he never visited, but then discovers that these memories are real and belong to past lives. The movie is visually spectacular, but it's its only strong point against a script that seems recycled from 'Inception', with performances that show no effort or emotion (yes, even from the great Chiwetel Ejiofor, who usually doesn't disappoint).
The Guilty
One of the sensations of European cinema in 2018, the Danish feature film 'The Guilty' drew attention for its inventiveness of plot (and endless tension!) despite almost all of its story taking place in a room with endless phone calls. Now, this production gets an American remake three years later. In the lead role, Jake Gyllenhaal. He is a policeman who, demoted, goes to work as a telephone operator at 911 -- the Brazilian 190. However, on an already tense day of work, he ends up answering a call from a woman who says she has been kidnapped by her partner. From there begins a hunt that, despite some slips from director Antoine Fuqua ('Training Day'), continues with the same essence of the original: emergency calls in the best style, desperation and a twist that always leaves the audience shocked. Although the original is more interesting and less theatrical, 'The Guilty' is a good movie to pass the time, mainly due to Gyllenhaal's good performance. Have you seen the Danish one? The experience will certainly not be as good. Otherwise, get ready for some surprises.
Training Day
Already a classic of 2000s cinema, "Training Day" is a crime thriller that calls into question notions of police ethics. Denzel Washington stars as Alonzo Harris, a veteran and corrupt police officer with questionable methods in his fight against drug trafficking in Los Angeles. The audience sees this contrast of ideals through Jake Hoyt (Ethan Hawke), an idealistic rookie assigned to work with Harris. During his "training day," Hoyt is dragged into Harris' spiral of corruption and destruction. Even if the ending isn't entirely satisfying, the rest of the movie is well worth watching, with great performances from both Hawke and Denzel Washington in one of his unusual (but powerful) villain roles.
Emancipation
Directed by Antoine Fuqua ("Training Day") and starring Will Smith ("King Richard"), "Emancipation" tells the thrilling true story of a man who will do anything for his family and freedom. All through the life and journey of Peter, a enslaved man who risks his life to escape and return to his family during the brutalities of the American Civil War in the 19th century. To do so, he embarks on a dangerous journey of love and resistance. With Smith's star-studded performance, which returns to the screen for the first time after slapping actor Chris Rock during the Oscar ceremony, the feature film slips into some obviousness, mainly in the more technical aspect of the thing - such as photography and the already beaten way Fuqua films more dramatic scenes. However, "Emancipation: A Story of Freedom" still works as a rescue of the history of this important and true character of North American history.
The Equalizer 3
The Equalizer 3, the third and seemingly final film in The Equalizer saga, an adaptation of the 1980s series, sees Denzel Washington once again portraying Robert McCall, the man who kills without hesitation. Here, he is working in Italy when he comes across a small town that captivates him – everyone is benevolent, and it's hard not to feel sympathy for the village, which seems lost in time. The problem, as always, is the mafia. Like a militia, they make disproportionate (and violent) demands on shopkeepers, killing and torturing. This is when Robert begins his action plan, ready to kill anyone who stands in his way and in the way of anyone who threatens his new home. With Antoine Fuqua's firm direction once again, who directed the other two films, The Equalizer 3 offers another intense action film that, unlike productions like John Wick, doesn't focus solely on the fight but also on the character development. A good example of what makes a great action movie.
Action
The Witch: Part 2. The Other One
The Witch: Part 2. The Other One - A fast-paced action, mystery and thriller film that follows a young woman with impressive telekinetic powers, desperately fighting for her life while unraveling the mysteries of her past, pursued by unscrupulous killers. With Blue Dragon Award nominations for Best Supporting Actress (Seo Eun-su) and Best New Actress (Cynthia), this film captures the protagonist's intense battle to find answers and justice, facing not only her persecutors, but also to his own inner demons.
Bloodsport
Jean-Claude Van Damme makes his starring debut in the descriptively titled Bloodsport. An American soldier at large in Hong Kong, Van Damme becomes involved in the Kumite, a highly illegal kickboxing competition. Whoever survives the bout will be crowned Kumite champion of the world…a title that has plenty of challengers with homicide in their hearts. The finale offers a duel to the death between Van Damme and reigning Kumite king Bolo Yeung. The script is based on the real-life exploits of martial arts champ Frank Dux, who serves as the film's fight coordinator.
War on Terror: KL Anarchy
Khalid, a rebellious cop from an elite special force must prove he is able to work as a team in order to thwart terrorist threats to bring down Kuala Lumpur.
The Order
In The Order, Van Damme plays a man accused of murder who seeks a sacred scripture in Jerusalem before it falls into the wrong hands, jeopardizing his freedom. With shades of Dan Brown and a script by Jean Claude Van Damme himself, alongside Les Weldon (screenwriter of another action star film, Replicant), the movie is what every fan of the Belgian actor wants: brawling, with a fun plot, and never boring.
