THE EQUALIZER 2: Denzel Washington returns as Robert McCall, the vigilante with a mission in this sequel. And while I did not see the original, it didn't make much difference. This time after some introductory character "what's he all about" scenes, justice strikes closer to home when thugs kill his best friend and former colleague, Susan Plummer. Out for revenge, he must face an "army" of thugs who are out to kill him. With out the usually CGI, in these type of action/thrillers, this is a breath of fresh air, in that department. And who can resist Mr. Washington as an action figure? The acting is first rate across the boards and there are subplots along the way (Orson Bean doing a wonderful role) which ultimately pay off in the end. And what an ending...in the middle of a hurricane in an evacuated town with only Denzel and the thugs who want to kill him. Oh, yes and there is a living, breathing body in the trunk......Great fun! Good film.
