Equalizer 2

This is a film that spends most of its time in a haze. A bunch of unrelated set pieces loosely being woven together by such a small string. There aren't really any stakes for Denzel's character. I love this director, but I don't understand how he read this script and signed on. The only thing great in this movie is Denzel's performance.

Yes ,, maybe the plot was a bit predictable but in no way it was slow ,, in fact i can't believe how fast it went in few parts ,, and Denzel did just a mesmerizing job ,, and his speech with the kid "Miles" after he found him with the gang !! Oh man !! it was powerful ... Acting level infinity.

Before watching the movie i knew "Chloë Grace Moretz" won't be in it ,, so i went wondering like how it'll work ,, and my thoughts went to the "Kingsman" movies .. but after watching the first movie again and then this one ,, i realized that this movie is all about Denzel Washington and boy i liked it this way.

back to the story itself ,, it was good ,,as some of the reviews will probably say a bit expected,, but in my opinion,, it was just perfect,, singled out The Equalizer and put him on another category.

final thought ,, watching the first movie might not be of necessity but i did it either way .. As for this one it is without a doubt so recommended.

Preserves the spirit of the first one while telling its own story. This is a good new chapter and all I was hoping for.

The Equalizer 2 had less action and less fighting than the first but it was no less good. It had a more serious and somber tone and it was definitely more cerebral. Robert McCall (Denzel Washington) was on the trail of those responsible for his friend's death. He had to use some shrewd investigative skills to discover whether or not her death was intentional and who the killers were. But, while Robert was dealing with that he still had time to do some clean up in his hometown of Boston--and I mean clean up in every sense of the words.

I liked the different characters in this movie and I particularly liked Robert's interaction with Miles (Ashton Sanders), the young African American male headed down the wrong path. The high-energy, pulse-racing fights weren't aplenty like the first installment but in their place was a little more substance. It was a fine trade off.

Nothing special here, very predictable plot, which is just an excuse to let the equalizer kick some bad guys ass. Anyways, it's so enjoyable to see good old Denzel being that superhero, you just feel bad for all those bad guys who dare to fight him.. This movie is a bit slow, with some scenes that stretch too much, could have been done better but I'm a big fan of Denzel, who is an amazing actor and I enjoy seeing any movie he plays in especially action movies. Looking forward to another sequel, this can be a long franchise hopefully with better plots and story.
