THE EQUALIZER Trailer Starring Denzel Washington

The first trailer for Antoine Fuqua’s (Training Day) big screen adaptation of the ’80s TV The Equalizer has dropped online this week.  The film stars Denzel Washington as a retired black ops commando who comes out of retirement to help a young girl in need, played by Chloe Grace Moretz.

Recent test screenings have proved so positive that Sony is already working on a sequel.  The Equalizer also stars Melissa Leo, Martin Csokas and Bill Pullman, and opens September 26.

In The Equalizer, Denzel Washington plays McCall, a former black ops commando who has faked his death to live a quiet life in Boston. When he comes out of his self-imposed retirement to rescue a young girl, Teri (Chloë Grace Moretz), he finds himself face to face with ultra-violent Russian gangsters. As he serves vengeance against those who brutalize the helpless, McCall’s desire for justice is reawakened. If someone has a problem, the odds are stacked against them, and they have nowhere else to turn, McCall will help. He is The Equalizer.
