Welcome to my Denzel Washington Tribute. I recently watched The Equalizer on Netflix and although I'm not a fan of graphic violence and profanity, the character of Robert McCall, played by Washington, was inspiring. This tragic story tells of McCall's desire to live a "normal" life, yet he realizes that "you gotta be who you are in this world."
I'm watching the movie and rooting for McCall all the way through because these bad guys are the absolute WORST! The final scene in Moscow is a total mind blower. McCall destroys the entire Russian Mob single-handed. Where else can this happen except in the movies?

A great actor, for sure. I used to feel he was a little stuffy off camera - but he seems to be loosening up a bit as he gets older, making him more likable overall. Nice scrapbook!
