I have been thinking Liam Neeson and his “Retribution” comrades were lucky to get their picture into theaters before Denzel’s third go as “The Equalizer.” Even though “Retribution” bombed.

But the Oscar winning Mr. Washington is…interestingly attired for this film, suggesting the physical conditioning will fit the “retired” reputation of the character.

Orson Welles did the tent-sized black shirts/trousers thing, with cape and cane in his later years.

I don’t think Sony previewed this much of anywhere. Classic “Labor Day Weekend” dumped title. So I’m seeing it “preview” night — Thursday.

Fingers crossed, in any event.
