I was a huge fan of The Equalizer as a kid. He was the serious bad ass we all counted on to protect us from those scumbags that somehow escaped justice. A veritable one man A-Team, but the guy actually killed people.
So, I was thrilled when the Fuqua directed The Equalizer came out in 2014. While I didn’t totally love it, I was overall happy with how everything was handled, with a few minor gripes and groans. But, I can already tell that the sequel (allegedly Washington’s first time ever doing any sequel) is addressing some of the things I could have tossed out of the first film.
The violence looks much crisper, and the story-line looks more compelling. I am hoping this isn’t another one of those ‘the CIA cleans house’ stories; though, because I am just about sick of them!
Sadly, if you watch the trailer, you’ll probably get a bit more revealed about the plot than I would like, but it is what it is, I guess.
