Exclusive Clip: Denzel Washington Sets Tough Terms in 'The Equalizer'

In this upcoming big screen adaptation of the ’80s TV show, Denzel Washington plays a resourceful, exceptionally inventive, stealth fighter. All the skills he’ll need to become The Equalizer!

In the clip above, seen here first on Yahoo Movies, Washington plays Robert McCall, an average Joe hiding a dark past as a black ops commando. He’s drawn back into battling the bad guys by the handiwork of a heartless villain, a Russian mobster named Teddy.

Our baddie gets a big surprise, however, when McCall loses his cool and throws a mob lackey’s bloodied and broken sunglasses down on a table. “Had enough?” he asks Teddy.

Teddy’s ultimate response: “I have no feelings about you one way or the other. You’re like lint or a bottle cap. You’re just a thing to remove.”

You’ll have to see how it plays out on Sept. 26, when the movie, also starring Chloë Grace Moretz, opens in theaters.
