McCall’s quiet existence shatters when he befriends a young teenage prostitute named Teri (Chloë Grace Moretz), who is controlled by the brutal Russian mafia. After she is brutally beaten and hospitalized, McCall decides to put his unique "skill set" back into action. He gives the gang a simple ultimatum: pay $9,800 to let Teri go free. When they refuse and laugh in his face, McCall unleashes a calculated, horrifyingly efficient wave of justice.
Teddy is introduced as a fixer for the Russian mob, a man of high status and violent capability. However, as the film progresses, the audience realizes that while Teddy is dangerous, he lacks the discipline of McCall. The film creates a duality: both men are "monsters," but one is a monster who hunts other monsters. the equalizer 20142014 full
