Denzel Washington returns to the big screen as Robert McCall in “The Equalizer 2,” the sequel to the 2014 action-thriller “The Equalizer,” which was a thrilling and entertaining ride for moviegoers who love watching vigilante justice being served.

“The Equalizer 2” follows McCall, a former CIA agent, who becomes a Lyft driver during the day and continues to help people at night by dispensing his own style of justice to those who deserve it. His path crosses with that of a young girl named Miles, played by Ashton Sanders, who is seeking revenge after the death of her best friend.

The film is directed by Antoine Fuqua, who also directed the first movie, and features a script by Richard Wenk. The duo has worked together on several projects, including “Training Day” and “The Magnificent Seven.”

What sets “The Equalizer 2” apart from other action movies is its emphasis on character development and relationships. McCall’s relationship with his former colleague, played by Melissa Leo, adds depth to his character and gives the viewer insight into his past. The bond between McCall and Miles is also a standout feature of the film, with Washington and Sanders delivering heart-wrenching performances that will leave a lasting impression.

The action in the film is well choreographed and keeps the tension high, with McCall going up against a group of Russian assassins who are targeting his former colleague. The scenes are gritty, violent and will have audiences on the edge of their seats.

The film also has its share of lighter moments, with McCall’s interactions with his Lyft passengers providing some comedic relief. Pedro Pascal, known for his role as Oberyn Martell in “Game of Thrones,” is a welcome addition to the cast as an ex-soldier turned vigilante who works with McCall to take down the Russian assassins.

While “The Equalizer 2” is an enjoyable and gripping film, it does have a few flaws. The pacing of the film can feel slow at times, with some scenes dragging on longer than necessary. The storyline with Miles seeking revenge feels somewhat disconnected from the rest of the film and doesn’t hold up as well as the other aspects of the story.

However, these flaws are outweighed by the film’s strengths, including Washington’s commanding performance as McCall, the chemistry between the cast members, and the intense action scenes that keep the viewer engaged from start to finish.

In conclusion, “The Equalizer 2” is a solid addition to the action-thriller genre and is highly recommended for fans of the first film and for anyone who enjoys watching vigilante justice being served. The film delivers on action, character development, and relationships, making it a well-rounded and enjoyable movie experience.
