Okay, it may take several more times listening to appreciate this one, and I definitely need to see the film to get the visuals to go along with it, but I do like it. It doesn’t have an outstanding theme to it, but rather a plodding undertone of repressed violence reminiscent of "Inception." I certainly don’t favor it over Stewart Copeland’s exciting soundtrack, but neither do I hate it.

To put somewhat of a fine point on this discussion McCall doesn’t become The Equalizer until the end of the film. This film is his origin story so I can understand not using Copeland’s iconic theme. (You don’t break out the Superman theme until you see that red cape.). Now that McCall has his cape, I’m hoping and betting we’ll hear a version of that theme in the inevitable sequel.
That may be, just as in Casino Royale we heard parts of the Jame Bond theme sprinkled into the rest of the film, but assembled together at the end as he delivers his iconic line "The name is Bond, James Bond." However, THAT would have been preferable to the plodding themes used had the bits and pieces been broken up and used with the same flavor in the film. How much flashbacks were used in the film (still unseen because I suspect it will have as much impact on the small screen VS my wallet) to show his journey as the agent who has had a belly full enough of his violent life to turn his back and retire? Many of the themes in the original show were quiet and full of suspense and pent up energy like a coiled spring that exploded as the action came down.
True, but in the terms of character arcs Casino Royale and The Equalizer arrive at very different places. CR is a good example of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs where the fifth and final step of progression is self-actualization or to coin a phrase "to be all you can be." (Hey, that would make a great slogan for the Army.) The State raised Bond, an orphan, and Bond wants to protect it like family. M uses that trait to forge Bond into a weapon she can point at the enemy. (Bond is not her first weapon, an action that comes back to haunt her and British Intelligence in (Skyfall.) The death of Vesper is what puts Bond onto the path M laid out for him and he takes it willingly. So at the conclusion of CR he has completely internalized the goals of MI6 and those objectives are now his missions. He becomes "Bond, James Bond." (And JB, not Jason Bourne or Jack Bauer, has a self destructive element to his personality so he needs structure, if only to have something to push against, in his life because without guidance James will get himself into the wrong kind of trouble.)
McCall isn’t becoming rather he’s already there. Instead, he buried the killer deep inside and the movie is about him letting the monster out of the box. That’s the reason for the visit to his former handlers, they give him permission to turn the key and open the lid. Denzel’s McCall gave up the Agency for his wife. He never said he gave it up for reason’s of his own, he always framed it as a promise he’s keeping for someone else.
As for the TV series the 80’s McCall left the Agency after an asset he brought in from the cold with assurances of safety was murdered in front of McCall. That happened in the first few minutes of the series’ pilot. It’s a testament to the late Robert Woodward’s acting skills that he could portray the world weariness of his character so well that he sold McCall’s departure and made it credible. (One of the theme the series focused on was how morally grey the world of espionage is.)
Thanks again!!
