While some might scoff at Denzel Washington taking on the mantel of The Equalizer , first portrayed by the great -- and very British --  Edward Woodward in the 1980s TV series , I'm all for it. Why? It's Denzel Washington, dammit. The man does no wrong. The flick, directed by Denzel's Training Day partner Antione Fuqua, doesn't hit until Sept. 26, but we've scored some new images from the movie thanks to the fine folks at USA Today .
