Denzel Washington Is ‘A Knight in Shining Armor’ in New ‘Equalizer’ Trailer (Video)

He also works at a home improvement store

Denzel Washington is a “knight in shining armor” who works at a home improvement store by day, and kicks the crap out of criminals by night in “The Equalizer.”

The latest trailer (above) for the action thriller based on a 1980s CBS series shows Washington’s character — a former black ops commando — itching to get back into crime fighting when a cashier is robbed right before his eyes.

A hammer from aisle 12 appears to be the right tool for the job.

Chloe Grace Moretz (“Kick-Ass”) co-stars in the Sept. 26 release as a young prostitute who likes to talk to Washington’s character about books, which are obvious metaphors for his life.

“What’s your new one about?” Moretz asks.

“It’s about a guy who is a knight in shining armor, except he lives in a world where knights don’t exist anymore,” Washington answers.

“The Equalizer,” which reunites Washington with his “Training Day” director Antoine Fuqua, premieres at the Toronto International Film Festival on Sunday, Sept. 7.
