RJ The original Equalizer film with Denzel was definitely a stunner. I feel like this one was a bit of a step down, but not that far down from the original. Plus what makes it not feel like a sequel is the fact that his hair is grown in, in this film. Unless I’m missing something, it just feels like a continuity error throughout the whole movie and that’s one of the smaller reasons I gave this film one star less. Either way? Denzel Washington carried this film and I still loved it. Especially the hurricane sequence.

Weird 3 would get all the glory, I liked that too but thought this one was slightly better. Even the first is legit. A great collection to bust out on a rainy day. Recommend. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/21/25 Full Review Mathieu D I've been a long-time fan of Denzel Washington and have enjoyed most of his films. The Equalizer (2014) was a great start — dark, balanced, and deeply satisfying. The sequel, however, felt weaker in my opinion. Everything that made the first movie great is still here: Robert is badass, sarcastic, and intimidating — a cold, efficient killer. The action scenes showcase this perfectly, maybe even better than in the first movie. But two things feel out of place. First, the kid he tries to save — it feels like the writers wanted to preserve the “savior” aspect from the first film, yet it doesn’t really serve the story. That screen time could have been used to explore the conspiracy more deeply, which is the second weak point. We learn very little about it, and the final showdown in the village where Vivian comes from feels more like an excuse for cinematic scenery than a logical conclusion. The Equalizer 2 delivers a decent story, decent action, and decent intensity — but it never comes close to the impact of the first film.
