Chloe, who appeared in the title role of last year's "Carrie" remake, attended Tuesday night's advance screening of "The Equalizer," held at the Phipps Plaza movie theater.

In "The Equalizer," she stars as a troubled young girl, Alina, who befriends Denzel Washington's character, Robert McCall. At first McCall seems like just a kindly, avuncular guy who likes to read books in the neighborhood coffee shop. When Alina gets into trouble McCall springs into action.

The heart-pounding thriller comes out Sept. 26. Go see it!

For now, check out our red-carpet interview with Chloe in this video clip.
