Equalizer 2000

Moviecut—Equalizer 2000

Equalizer 2000.. Yep! One those B-movies that crop up at your local video store.. This one, I find was enjoyable.. It tells about Slade (Norton) who's one of the Commanding Officers of the so-called 'Ownership'. The army that controls most of the planet's oil supply.. They come under attack from two armies.. In an all out war, Slade's father gets killed in action.. Slade get captured, and seeks revenge on Colonel Lawton. Destined to bring him down, he finds a gun which is called the 'Equalizer 2000'. The most powerful weapon ever made.. Slade uses it to take down the Ownership and gets his chance to settle the score with Lawton.. I find it was a good film.. Not one of the best but I can say, you could see this on a rainy day.. 5 out of 10..!

This is THE top of the line, in B movies. If you've ever liked a "bad" movie, this one has it all. The terrible dialog is stunning. My favorite line, not to give anything away, is "Spin it, spin it!" The movie makes little sense, the tactics are non-existent in the battle scenes, the gun is just pipes glued together... it's marvelous. There are characters that are dressed in what look like Confederate soldier uniforms, and there are also characters that are wearing ski masks. Now, incidentally, there are some stunt scenes where people get set on fire... I wonder if there might be a connection between the wardrobe department and the stunt department... no, couldn't be! Seriously, if you get a kick out of B, C, D or maybe just F movies, (I'm talking bottom of the line, here) this one is the top of the line.

This movie really sucks, but still it´s fun to watch. For 90 minutes it´s just gunfights and explosions. No talking, just shooting. It´s amazing to see fully grown men act like this, and being serious about it! If you have nothing to do on a late Sunday night, then give this one a try!
