Egy titkos ügynöknek elege lett. Robert McCall (Denzel Washington) azt hitte, visszavonulhat a harctól, de rá kell jönnie, hogy számára most kezdődnek az igazán veszélyes évek. Legyőzhetetlen, kemény és keserű: de ha azt látja, hogy az erősebbek a gyengébb ellen fordulnak, akkor közbelép, és nem érdekli a túlerő. Sosem alszik. Éjszaka egy nagyváros sötét utcáit járja, és figyel. És ha bajt szimatol valahol, már indul is… (InterCom)

Az első félóra a szereplők bemutatásával sablonszerű, az ezt követő indulás elfogadható és onnantól, hogy a kártyák asztalra kerülnek már nagyon ígéretes. A záró helyszín hangulatilag remek, de nem váltja be a katartikus leszámolással kapcsolatos magas elvárásokat. Több helyet kellett volna hagyni az érdekes gonosztevőnek és minden végtagjának is, hogy egyéni dimenziókat kapjanak. Ahelyett a felesleges félórás indulás helyett. Akkor ez bomba lett volna, és nem számított volna, hogy nem magyarázzák meg a brüsszeli beavatkozás okát, amely az egészet elindította.

Denzel Washington brings exactly what you'd expect from a movie with Equalizer 2. Still the same well-acted and interesting hero, tough guy action and a slightly simpler script. But the main story doesn't drag as much as last time and even the villain is weaker, but it's still enough for an above average old-school thriller.

Antoine Fuqua and Denzel Washington together again. The first part is very high among my favourite films, so the sequel had a hard time in many ways and of course it doesn't have the same quality as the first one, but it is still a decent old-school action thriller. Denzel is still the same, he's hardly aged, he's still fit, his acting is impeccable and his quirky antics are some of the best to be found here. The action is surprisingly less, apart from the smaller short disposals there is only the big final set-piece where the setting is well chosen. The pace is slower, but the film doesn't get boring, it passes quickly, the side lines are interesting and it is nicely suspenseful at times. What sucks is that there is not much R-rated action, the villain Marton Csokas from the first film is unbeatable and it annoyed me that the train scene in the trailer was cut from the film. All in all, a minor disappointment, but I certainly don't regret going to the cinema. P.S. I'm glad to see Pedro Pascal getting more and more screen time after Narcos (Kingsman and here), and the future looks promising as well. 75%.

Exactly what you’d expect from the sequel of a film that relies almost entirely on the main character and cool, flashy direction with elements for effect. Paradoxically, Equalizer 2 feels like there is more of everything, more supporting characters, more Washington speaking into the soul, a better understanding of the main character and his history. Fuqua still manages cool moments and solid action, but the main villain fails, classic plot twist included. The action was better in in the first film, as more was not expected it, so there was no need to experiment with the story. The blustery ending is interestingly shot, but with poor tension, it makes you miss the supermarket scene of the first film. And, unfortunately, the fact that Melissa Leo (a woman) in a supporting role has the best fight in the whole film is also quite tragic.

As the first movie was a nice chillout before going to bed, I thought to myself that the second one wouldn’t be much worse. And it wasn’t. It was nothing that would offend anyone. A bit of a techno-thriller, the type that Tony Scott used to make years ago, and now Antoine Fuqua picked up the baton.
