THE EQUALIZER
Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Music Composed by
Harry Gregson-Williams
(Shrek, Cowboys And Aliens,
Total Recall)
In The Equalizer, Denzel Washington plays McCall, a man who believes he has put his mysterious past behind him and dedicated himself to beginning a new, quiet life. But when McCall meets Teri (Chloë Grace Moretz), a young girl under the control of ultra-violent Russian gangsters, he can’t stand idly by – he has to help her. Armed with hidden skills that allow him to serve vengeance against anyone who would brutalize the helpless, McCall comes out of his self-imposed retirement and finds his desire for justice reawakened. If someone has a problem, if the odds are stacked against them, if they have nowhere else to turn, McCall will help. He is The Equalizer.
Veteran action film composer Harry Gregson-Williams delivers a driving, powerful score.
Columbia Pictures will open The Equalizer?nationwide on September 26.
Varese Sarabande Catalog # 302 067 294 8
Release Date: 09/23/14

Plus, Deja-Vu and Unstoppable.
I guess Denzel liked what he heard in the Tony Scott collaborations and decided to go with the flow.

Rob Reiner ranting about missing the show in Wolf of Wall Street was all The Equalizer I needed. Warmed my heart.

His IMDb page lists exactly nothing after 2007, so it's probably not entirely the producers' decision. (That said, Mr. Washington's one of the movie's producers, and it's not the first time Harry Gregson-Williams has scored a movie about DW protecting a young girl.)
EDIT: Plus HG-W did DW's The Taking Of Pelham One Two Three, so they already have a working relationship.
Lists nothing? What are you talking about?
About HGW's involvement in the film, he scored Antoine Fuqua's first film, The Replacement Killers, in 1998. And Fuqua is very fond of Media Ventures/Remote Control composers, having worked with Mark Mancina on Bait, Training Day and Shooter, Hans Zimmer on Tears Of The Sun and King Arthur, and Trevor Morris on Olympus Has Fallen,
This will be HGW's first score since 2012.

I often find it bizzare the credits Varese gives composers. Shrek sure, but the other two out of all HGW's work? How about the Narnia scores? Though I guess they are trying to keep it to what they released....still, Cowboys & Aliens? Really?
Correct. Shrek and Cowboys were released on the Varese label, thus they want to plug their product
Total Recall is one of the more recent, well known scores he did. It was released on Madison Gate (Sony Pictures' in house soundtrack label). Not really a competitor like Disney (Narnia) or La-La Land (Unstoppable), so it makes sense they would mention that title as well.

I was a big fan of the TV series during the 80's.
I loved everything about it, from E-Wah Woo-Wah chasing down the bad guys and SHOUTING at them in his VERY BRITISH ACCENT, driving his Jag and getting help from his old school ops buddies. Steward Copeland's distinctive synth/percussion scores, with it's ace Main Theme, was just the icing on the cake.
This new version ISN'T The Equalizer to me.
It's not terrible, just your standard, run-of-the-mill, overlong, violent action thriller.
Walk Among The Tombstones felt more old Equalizer to me than this.
It's loooonnnng, drawn out Skyfall-like finale in B&Q really killed it for me, after it's ludicrous Dock explosion sequence. The Russian coda scene was a bit risible too.
The song used as score in the cat-and-mouse end game sequence was also terrible and ill-fitting, but no worse than the generic drones of the HGW score in general.
I liked the first hour way more than the second, but overall, I was hugely disappointed by this by-the-numbers thriller and don't envisage bothering with any others, if/when they make them.
