The Equalizer
Denzel Washington, a two-time Academy Award winner, plays a character in 'The Equalizer' who is not only a brilliant assassin but also has a deep human side, distinguishing him from many other characters in similar flicks. Some viewers may draw parallels between 'The Equalizer' and 'Taken' because of their plot and execution similarities, but director Antoine Fuqua infuses 'The Equalizer' with a more emotionally gripping storyline.

Bullet Train
David Leitch, famed for co-directing the first 'John Wick' picture, contributes to the anticipation of 'Bullet Train', adapted from K?tar? Isaka's novel 'Maria Beetle' (2010). The film's action moments are reminiscent of the 'John Wick' franchise, enhancing spectator excitement. Leitch mixes comic moments into the characters, juxtaposing them with the severe violence taking place aboard the bullet train.

Nobody
The plot of 'Nobody' is similar to that of 'John Wick', as it revolves around an ordinary man who becomes embroiled in a dispute with a prominent Russian mob boss following a clash with one of the mob boss's reckless relatives. Despite Bob Odenkirk's portrayal of an assassin injecting a more comedic tone into the narrative than 'John Wick', the savagery of the violence and the brilliance behind it remain intact.

Wrath Of Man
"Wrath of Man," which is based on Nicolas Boukhrief's French action film "Cash Truck" (2004), is Guy Ritchie and Jason Statham's fourth collaboration behind the camera and their first since "Revolver" (2005). True to Ritchie's style, the picture contains dialogue-heavy scenes, but it truly excels in its flawlessly choreographed action sequences, which are distinguished by excellent camerawork, Statham's typical street-fighter approach, and an aura of mystery surrounding the characters.
