The Equalizer Infographic – Understanding Russian Mafia Markings

The Equalizer is in cinemas in the UK now starring Denzel Washington and Chloë Grace Moretz where we see Washington’s character McCall take on the Russian Mafia.  Below we have an interesting infographic that looks at the importance of tattoos to the Russian Mafia and just what they mean.  If like me you’ve seen Eastern Promises then you’ll remember the excellent scene where they give an in-depth look at just this subject, and they talk about a few tattoos that aren’t included below (of course they could be works of fiction).

Mafia-Markings

 

In The Equalizer, Denzel Washington plays McCall, a former black ops commando who has faked his death to live a quiet life in Boston. When he comes out of his self-imposed retirement to rescue a young girl, Teri (Chloë Grace Moretz), he finds himself face to face with ultra-violent Russian gangsters. As he serves vengeance against those who brutalize the helpless, McCall’s desire for justice is reawakened. If someone has a problem, the odds are stacked against them, and they have nowhere else to turn, McCall will help. He is The Equalizer.
