Ex-CIA agent-turned-vigilante Robert McCall uses his. McCall, who has put his mysterious past behind him, comes out of self-retirement to serve vengeance. My thoughts, in no particular order: 1.) There’s the unpleasant reminder that Aykroyd does blackface in the film (the script also tosses around racial epithets, albeit with a purpose), 2.) I still don’t understand the plot’s scheme, which involves frozen orange juice concentrate futures (a real commodity!) 3.) Chicagoans will find it interesting to note that the Chicago Mercantile Exchange would not let director John Landis shoot on location, so New York it was, which is a shame since the Merc closed its raucous trading pits in 2015 in favor of frictionless digital action, 4.) Murray and Aykroyd really are a terrific pairing, as are Ralph Bellamy and Don Ameche as the fictional blue bloods who are philosophically not all that different from these types in real life. Find out if The Equalizer 2 is available to stream on Netflix by using Flixboss - the Netflix guide. Maybe it was the unfurling GameStop story that prompted me to revisit 1983′s “Trading Places,” starring Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd, who give a couple of old-guard stock-market players a sour taste of their own medicine. The Equalizer is available on Netflix Australia. The results are trim, well-made and quite moving. Though there are great choreographed fights, special effects and fantastic explosions, The Equalizer is more Bourne than Bond.
Washington's Robert McCall is not self-destructive or addicted. A fair amount of screenwriter Moira Buffini’s dialogue plays out as Terrence Malick-styled voiceover, while the camera focuses on the stark beauty of the surroundings, and men and women actually doing the work. The Equalizer is NOT your typical action flick. Based on the 2007 novel by John Preston, “The Dig” freely mixes fact and invention, overloading the crises a bit but generally succeeding. Fiennes is Basil Mulligan is Edith around the halfway point of director Simon Stone’s film, the focus (for better or worse) shifts to others in the orbit of the excavation effort, particularly characters played by Lily James and Johnny Flynn. The Equalizer is the show that CBS has put in the coveted post-Super Bowl slot for 2021, with the first episode set to air on Sunday, February 7 at 10 p.m. There was indeed, and the remains and artifacts of a sixth-century Anglo-Saxon burial ship stunned the world. Some of it’s true, too: Along the east coast of Britain in 1939, with war clouds looming, self-taught Suffolk archeologist Basil Brown was hired by ailing widow Edith Pretty to discover if anything of value lay beneath the earth mounds on her property.
Even with Ralph Fiennes and Carey Mulligan front and center, little in the trailer of “The Dig” seemed particularly promising, but I gave it a go and it’s good.
