Review of The Equalizer 2 (2018)

By Sarah Marrs (566) for Lainey Gossip (399) on 20 Jul 2018

Equalizer 2 is a slow, ponderous affair that not even Denzel's considerable charisma can save…

Review of The Equalizer 2 (2018)

By Laura Clifford (2,742) for Reeling Reviews (4,376) on 19 Jul 2018

Wenk may have stuffed one too many plotlines into McCall's return, the resulting film often feeling disjointed, its central crime more MacGuffin…

Review of The Equalizer 2 (2018)

By Jeffrey M. Anderson (3,573) for Common Sense Media (4,943) on 19 Jul 2018

This sequel to The Equalizer, itself based on the 1980s TV series, is more of the same, with (too) familiar screenwriting, a compelling lead…

Review of The Equalizer 2 (2018)

By Pete Hammond (936) for Deadline Hollywood Daily (332) on 19 Jul 2018

Denzel Washington may be over 60 but as his work in his first sequel ever here proves he is definitely not over the hill…

Review of The Equalizer 2 (2018)

By John Urbancich (394) for Your Movies (cleveland.com) (472) on 19 Jul 2018

We've already mentioned that Equalizer 2 offers more of the same, with its main attraction still giving his all while looking as if every vigilante…

Review of The Equalizer 2 (2018)

By Annlee Ellingson (847) for L.A. Biz (397) on 19 Jul 2018

How do the filmmakers settle on a narrative for an Equalizer film? The answer is they don't, cramming several plotlines into one jumbled film…

Review of The Equalizer 2 (2018)

By Sara Michelle Fetters (1,688) for MovieFreak.com (1,674) on 19 Jul 2018

There is a tonal consistency to The Equalizer II its predecessor never had…

Review of The Equalizer 2 (2018)

By Armond White (604) for National Review (314) on 19 Jul 2018

Denzel Washington's The Equalizer 2, a pointlessly violent sequel to his pointlessly brutal 2014 box-office success, confirms the pointlessly…

Review of The Equalizer 2 (2018)

By Rick Bentley (466) for Tribune News Service (1,102) on 19 Jul 2018

The film would have collapsed into a mess with a lesser actor in the starring role…

Review of The Equalizer 2 (2018)

By Clint O'connor (453) for Akron Beacon Journal (177) on 19 Jul 2018

The character remains strong. The script, not so much…

Review of The Equalizer 2 (2018)

By Adam Graham (720) for Detroit News (2,682) on 19 Jul 2018

A less-muddled script could have rescued The Equalizer 2 from the summer blahs, but as it is, we'll just have to accept it for its strengths…

Review of The Equalizer 2 (2018)

By Dann Gire (642) for Chicago Daily Herald (649) on 19 Jul 2018

Less attention has been paid to Richard Wenk's screenplay, a contrived work that traffics in lapses of common sense and internal logic, plus…

Review of The Equalizer 2 (2018)

By Bob Bloom (1,124) for Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) (1,017) on 19 Jul 2018

The film never jells. The main villains are cookie-cutter archetypes. No effort is made to give them any depth or personality…

Review of The Equalizer 2 (2018)

By Gary Wolcott (857) for KXL-FM (Portland, OR) (39) on 19 Jul 2018

Pretty much the same style as the original but a little better. That's mostly due to Denzel's chemistry with the kid played by Ashton Sanders…

Review of The Equalizer 2 (2018)

By Jeremy Jahns (155) for JeremyJahns.com (155) on 19 Jul 2018

It felt like a season of television crushed into two hours…

Review of The Equalizer 2 (2018)

By Jacob Knight (117) for Birth.Movies.Death. (774) on 19 Jul 2018

Denzel continues to have the time of his life being this solitary avenging angel, and Fuqua is painting every moment of extreme violence dark crimson…

Review of The Equalizer 2 (2018)

By Phil Villarreal (1,289) for ABC Tucson (117) on 19 Jul 2018

This is an action movie in which the action star strives to be, well, inactive…

Review of The Equalizer 2 (2018)

By Alex Doenau (232) for Trespass (429) on 19 Jul 2018

Washington brings nuance to an otherwise black-and-white scenario, which elevates The Equalizer 2 above so many other nice guy/secret killer films…

Review of The Equalizer 2 (2018)

By Liam Lacey (1,725) for Original Cin (1,156) on 19 Jul 2018

Denzel Washington is superbly watchable, as always, but Antoine Fuqua's sequel to his (not quite) everyman hero story swaps smarts and arty…

Review of The Equalizer 2 (2018)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 19 Jul 2018

The Equalizer 2 represents a solid follow-up to The Equalizer and an effectively understated entry into the 2018 summer movie sweepstakes…
