8/10 same score as I gave to The Equalizer 1.Equalizer 1, virtuous, surprising and Denzel is top notch.
Awful movie....
I enjoyed both. But I enjoyed 2 more because the people helped by the Equalizer were more diverse and they had their own difficult choices to make.
If you are looking for a good action flick with a justice-is-served ending, this will do the trick. Is it terribly original?
Denzel is a great actor and this is a decent follow up. Not as good as the first movie and a little slower at times but still worth the watch for the performances.
Equalizer 2 sported a great cast, Awesome action scene's and wonderful acting. If you enjoyed the first movie I have no doubts you'll enjoy the second.
In this chapter, you get to know more about the equalizer, his past, his friends/foes, and his emotional directions. The drama in this movie goes well on bar with the first one.
Sadly, this is not a patch on the first one. When his friend (Melissa Leo) is brutally murdered in her apartment (and it takes quite a while for us to get to that point) Denzel Washington determines to study every piece of evidence he can find to discover and track down the perpetrators.
....the last 40 minutes were lousy written with a predictable end game.
