"The Equalizer 2" Movie Review

by John Zenoni

It goes without saying, at least the majority of people I know would agree, that Denzel Washington rarely has a miss with respect to his movies. I am glad to say that this stays true with his latest, and first sequel, “The Equalizer 2.” From the opening scene you know you are in for a ride - an exciting one at that - and are hooked from the get go. This film has the things that catch your attention - action, suspense, drama and in some cases, comedy. It has it all and for most of the film it all works well. 

The acting is good, of course, although what do you expect from Denzel Washington, no less? The supporting cast is good as well and are all believable. The storyline is a good follow up to the first film and does not disappoint, with the exception of one point in the film that I have to say I could see coming from a mile away. However, regardless of what was supposed to be a big surprise twist but to me was obvious, it really is a good film. Denzel just captures you with his presence as an actor so it is hard to not like anything he is in. Very good sequel...
