Review of The Equalizer 2 (2018) by Erin L — 21 Jul 2018

I thought it was amazing. One of Denzel's best performances. The scenes with Denzel and Ashton (Sanders) were award worthy, such depth and so real. The film doesn't insult the intelligence of those watching, leaving moments of silence that are carefully placed.

Films don't have to fill up every second with unneeded dialogue! Maybe some who rated it lower get board when there are moments of silence that give you room to think about deeper meanings. Sure, there were issues with editing (hopefully the editing won't keep it from being nominated in areas that deserve) , and I think they took too much for granted that everyone in the audience saw the first Equalizer, but that's pretty common with films now.

Really great film.
