The First Equalizer was great but this felt like more of a cash grab

The Blu Ray edition of The Equalizer 2 was excellent. I was impressed with the quality of the picture. I've never seen better on Blu Ray. The sound was also top notch. I was very satisfied.

Great movie. I always enjoy his serious, action movies. Also visited the location of one of the scenes while visiting Boston. I was thrilled to recognize the restaurant I dined in there.

Denzel Washington is sixty-three years-old and will be sixty-four this coming December. I can recall taking note of this fact when writing about the first Equalizer film when Washington was about to turn sixty and how impressive it seemed that the guy had no intentions of slowing down. In the interim between that 2014 film and what is the first sequel one of the world's most charismatic actors has agreed to be a part of, Mr. Washington has still shown no signs of slowing down. Since The Equalizer Washington has already paired with director Antoine Fuqua (Training Day) again prior to this latest entry with their remake of The Magnificent Seven which I found to be immensely entertaining as well as having adapted, starred in, and directed August Wilson's seminal piece of work in Fences for which he was shrouded in awards love. And again last year, the actor earned another Best Actor nomination for his work in Dan Gilroy's quirky, but largely effective Roman J. Israel, Esq. (which I probably liked more than you). The point being, each of these gave Washington the chance to continue to do what he loves as he flexed a different muscle in regard to each respective project, but the choice to return to the character of Robert McCall among every character Washington has played is a curious one. I enjoyed The Equalizer upon initial release and was happy to find it wasn't simply another case of an aging star attempting to cash in on the Liam Neeson-proven method of combining a once valuable name on the poster above a newfangled action-centric conflict. Of course, Washington was never relegated to being a star whose name ever lost any value. Denzel is Denzel and no matter what he does people typically turn out in fair enough numbers to justify his mid-range action projects and awards contenders. In fact, since 2009 (which accounts for Washington's last ten films), the star has never seen less than a $50 million lifetime gross with the exception of Israel last year with seven of those ten releases doing over $70 million worth of business during their theatrical runs. Denzel, the man, is typically all the brand recognition that is required and so it feels weird that Washington has been brought into this fold of sequels and franchises. Maybe it's just the first time someone has offered the actor a follow-up to one of his projects or maybe it's just a sign of the times. Whatever the case may be, The Equalizer 2 isn't exactly what one might hope for in a "first" from Denzel Washington, but more it plays into what the first did more to subvert in not being your by-the-numbers action flick as this sequel, with nowhere else to go, had no choice but to surrender to the trend.

What a great sequel movie and its in ultra 4K too. If you liked he original movie you need to stop at BB and pick up this great sequal. It came with the slipcover and the digital code too.

When I saw the first installment of Equalizer, I knew that they had to bring out a 2nd installment. Denzel Washington is the Equalizer. The Blu-ray and DVD with digital copy allows you to share the story.

EQUALIZER 2 WAS OK...NOT NEAR AS GOOD AS THE ORIGINAL BUT MOST SEQUELS AREN'T

In spite of all its flaws and shortcomings, The Equalizer 2 somehow manages to keep audiences engaged just enough to see it through to the end, but the plot is not compelling enough to make this sequel memorable. Although it features a sterling performance from Denzel Washington as the titular vigilante anti-hero, director Antoine Fuqua packs more than he can chew in a script that ironically aspires for something more poignant and thoughtful. The action thriller debuts on Ultra HD with a beautiful 4K HDR10 presentation that only offers a minor step-up over the reference-quality Blu-ray, but the Dolby Atmos soundtrack delivers one demo-worthy moment after another. With a nice but ultimately small set of supplements, the overall package is recommended for action fans and UHD collectors.

Denzel Washington does an incredible job reprising his role as the helper of the helpless. His past is revealed and how he deals with traitors. The fight scenes are once again coreagraphed to perfection. A Must See Movie!

The movie was good. The action was great. I just didn't like the storyline.

Excellent acting good action. Still prefer the first one but all good

Denzel being Denzel same old movie!!! Okay action and fight scenes

Movie was nicely paced and kept me interested. I would watch it again.

Good movie probably not as good as the first one but still entertaining.

Good (not great) movie. Denzel is fine as always. The movie might have been less enjoyable with a lesser actor. There is one plot line that doesn't connect to the rest of the movie, but doesn't take much time out of the rest of the film. The violence is graphic, so this movie is not for the squeamish.

Excellent action film. This is one of my favorite Denzel Washington movies. The picture and sound quality were excellent. I highly recommend this film to other Denzel fans.

Washington does not have to fly or see through walls to be a superhero like he is in this movie. His second installment of the Equalizer is as good as the first. Hope he comes out with a 3rd.

If you are looking for a movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat with a great story…this is the one! Definitely an awesome follow up to Equalizer 1.

Denzel does not disappoint. Wow! Great movie great story. Need this in the collection. Steel book looks great. Love how it continues from the first of two movies.

What a great movie and what a great actor... This is an awesome follow up from the equalizer 1 movie...Denzel as always gives the audience an outstanding performance... definitely a MUST SEE....
