The Equalizer 2 [DVD] [2017]

The Equalizer was an unexpectedly good action movie. The idea that someone was able to slow down his own time to defeat evil for the good of man was novel when the 80’s TV incarnation was around. Even better in modern times. Denzel turned in a fine performance that first film too! This time out, McCall is still fighting for the hurt, lost, and the troubled. This time he is a Lyft driver who helps those in need at almost every turn, big or small. We see him helping the elderly, helping troubled teenagers, helping strangers left worse for wear in his Lyft vehicle. Then the unthinkable happens... a dear friend is murdered. McCall then goes beast mode on those who contributed to the death. Action scenes are intercut with some decent, if not a little slowly paced drama. Denzel again fits the role like a glove and does some amazing dramatic work. He is easily still one of the finest working actors we have around today. Overall, the movie is a noble follow up to the first, even if the action isn’t nearly as kinetic. Picture and Sound quality for this release are overall near reference quality— you’re treated to a beautifully rendered 2K digital intermediate and some nice color grading and brightness highlights. This picture is sharp! Sound wise, you’re system will receive some subwoofer punishment and if you’ve got an Atmos setup, those height channels will get a little bit of work going through them as well! If you’re a fan of the series, you’ll likely enjoy it, even if you don’t love it as much as the first... it’s a recommend for me!

These movies great, an ex military man who goes around righting everyone’s wrongs, usually through violence. If there is room for redemption they’re given a chance, if they refuse they always regret it. This movie will make you feel good, it’s nice to imagine a real person like Robert McCall weeding out the evil people in our society.

It makes good on the promise the ending left from the first movie. Was that english? Probably not but I'm movving on. Discount Karl Urban is the bad guy and Denzel is killing suburban bad guys and urban terrorist drug dealers left and right with flour and microwaves. Good sequel.

I lived the first film and the sequel did not disappoint. Washington's Robert McCall is one of the most human characters in recent movies. The action, cinematography, music, acting, etc I enjoyable. Great picture/audio quality on the Blu-ray. Recommended.

Denzel Washington was great in this movie the follow-up from movie-equilizer 1 a lot of action Non-Stop kept you on the end of your seat hopefully there'll be a number 3 repeat Great for the holidays.

Well, the free download was not Equalizer 2, it was Happy Feet. The download code was WRONG!! Now I have to wait to watch it until I get the actual blu ray that I ordered. Very disappointed!

So glad Denzel did a second Equalizer, you just know it's gonna be full of action with a great story behind it. I hope he does more, You won't be disappointed. He is Great in this one too.

Not quite as good as the first film but still delivers. I did think the story was a bit all over the place. Still the last 20 minutes were very atmospheric and tense. 4K was gorgeous.
