I’m guessing this is not serious but they made it clear in both films that he is carrying a torch for his deceased wife. It seems he blames himself for her death for some reason that has not been revealed.
I thought it looked great. Made me wonder how much they spent on that sequence.
There are plenty of Dunkin’ Doughnuts! Or at least there used to be... I haven’t been to Boston for over 20 years. I wish that McColl would’ve just been hanging out at a Dunkin’!
Agreed. You know what to expect going into something like this, but I do think that Denzel was convincing. Sure, the finale is pretty absurd, but it’s effective as a very cool way to kill off all the baddies.
There was also the struggle with the big guy in the broken mirrors that showed McColl was not completely invincible. If the security guard hadn’t shown up he would have probably been toast.
I signed up just to say that I thought the same. It’s a genre film, but to me a definite standout in the genre. Some very impressive directing with tense scenes that Fuqua let develop at a slower pace than most of these types of films allow. Denzel brought some incredible gravitas to McColl. There were a couple of really nice scenes with Denzel and David Harbour. I liked the film so well that after finishing it I immediately bought and watched the sequel on demand.
