I was a fan of the original Equalizer TV show growing up, and I enjoyed the Denzel Washington/Chloë Grace Moretz movie 4 years ago. After one fantastic Jack Reacher movie and the good-but-not-as-great Jack Reacher: Never Go Back, I was a little worried that the "Sequelizer" would go the same way. While a couple minor plot elements felt a tad confusing or slightly underdeveloped, I think that The Equalizer 2 might actually be even better than the first. I feel like it might be a bit more of a slow-burn compared to the first one, but to me, that only serves to enhance the mystery driving the story. An interesting fact: this was the first time both Denzel Washington and director Antoine Fuqua ever made a sequel. I don't believe a third film is needed, but I do feel that the Robert McCall character has a bit of personal baggage that might need to be handled. With this in mind, I have hopes that they might pull a hat trick and make this a proper trilogy.
