Movie Reviews of The Equalizer - Season One
Movie Review: Are You EQUAL To The Task?
Summary: 5 Stars
I was always facinated by Edward Woodard and his ability to pull off this below level swashbuckler character Robert McCall. As a fan of the "concept" I was always disappointed when the show was supposed to be on but didn't actually show up on the television, in the time slot, on the same day, etc. so to get a copy of any of this material is kinda like Christmas in March. I have enjoyed 3 discs so far and will continue to watch and rewatch these classic Equalizer episodes. I love the one liners like when Control tells him not to do this kinda thing and he is dead set on it, "Well, it's your funeral." "Yes, and I'll be there." His Jaguar only makes me wish he was an American actor named Nick Mancuso, in a similar role that also appeared and disappeared just as quickly called Stingray. Oh well, good clean vigilantes are always hard to find.Movie Review: Still the Best
Summary: 5 Stars
After 20 years, this still remains my favorite show. In many ways, it's hard to see how CBS ever bought into this concept-they certainly wouldn't today. Ex-spy, past 50, overweight, quasi-vigilante, shown in plots with multiple weaves in them and a superb, avant-garde sountrack. Impossible. With all that though, what truly made the show was Robert Lansing. His character, Control, gave the show such a spooky(ok, pun intended) realism with his very intense, yet off-hand outlandishness that it made the whole concept plausible or, at the very least, great fun. I do hope that the entire series gets done and that we might hear from Edward Woodward on some future commentary tracks.Movie Review: How About Season 2??????
Summary: 5 Stars
The Equalizer was a great TV Show, & Edward Woodward was so good in his role of "Robert McCall". Just a great actor! They always ask the question of famous people you would love to meet in life & Edward Woodward would be one of them. Sadly, that won't happen with his passing on Nov 16th 2009. I am so glad to have this 1st season on DVD. I bought it when it was first released & am sad as to why season 2 has yet to come out. I really hope that the entire 4 seasons will come out soon.....
This show was way ahead of it's time in dealing with serious subject matter for the 80's.
Thanks Edward to giving us a great show to remember your legacy by......
Movie Review: The Equalizer - Season one
Summary: 5 Stars
I wish Universal Studios would hurry up and bring out the next few season of the equalizer. This was another TV show I enjoyed watching. Where McCall was an ex-FBI agent and ended up retiring but never really retired. so he started his own Private Detective service of sorts. It was, if you need help bad enough I will be there. He ended up getting quit a few clients and ended up helping them in some way or other. Edward Woodward is a very good actor. I liked him in this Program and then he did A Christmas Carol with George C. Scott as Scrooge and Edward as Ghost of Christmas Present. I liked him in both of these DVDs.Movie Review: Finally, at long last! Huzza!
Summary: 5 Stars
As you can surmise, a great many of us have been waiting a very long time for this to be released on DVD. The Equalizer was new and fresh and unlike anything else on TV at the time. Edward Woodward was the perfect choice for the role as he gave the character a different feel than we'd expect. He added great depth and complexity as a man fighting evil doers as he fought his own dark past. The writing, the locations, even the music demanded your attention! This was no ordinary TV show. I can't wait for the rest of the seasons to become available! Thanks for finally releasing this video! It's about time!
