There’s something so charismatic about Denzel Washington anyway. The man can make most anything compelling. I could watch him paint a house for two hours and find something interesting. What I really love about his Robert MCCall is that he plays him as a man eager, excited to be a part of the world, to meet people and become a part of their lives, but there’s a struggle within him that keeps him just at arm’s length. Most action movies like this barely concentrate on their heroes’ inner lives, but The Equalizer 2 does. For some, this may make the film not as exciting, and a lot of The Equalizer 2 operates on a slow burn. But that makes the action that much more meaningful as a result. Fans of Denzel Washington shouldn’t miss this.
