Denzel seemed too old this time around

They made him injured at the start so he's limping around and looking old. He never really gets his groove back.

Almost like they wrote it that way so he wouldn't have to kick as much ass.

Yeah, because he's 69 so the physical stuff doesn't seem so believable. I feel like he and Liam Neeson out of Taken should be sitting around playing dominoes together by now.

i wonder why..

He was too old last time, but this is probably the last time any of us will see Denzel in an action role, so people should see it just for that.

The way the right side of his mouth drooped, I wondered if his character - or he - had had a stroke recently.

I think he pulled off the moves, though. Certainly the attitude.

We're not watching for realism, right?
