The Equalizer 2
Robert McCall has rededicated his life to the pursuit of justice. But when his mission strikes close to home, he will be consumed by vengeance, seeking a revenge that knows no boundaries.
Director: Antoine Fuqua
Starring: Denzel Washington, Pedro Pascal, Bill Pullman
"He's cool, with moral clarity and he's three moves ahead of everyone. No wonder he's such a welcome sight in 2018 America and no wonder Washington wanted another go-around." - Associated Press
"Like all great actors, Mr. Washington commits to the performance, but every so often he also breathes fire, imbuing a scene with such shocking ferocity and bone-deep moral certitude that everything else falls blissfully away." - New York Times
"...All we need to know is some very bad people have crossed Robert McCall, and that's almost always a deadly mistake." - Chicago Sun-Times

"...propelled by action scenes that transmit a little something about the characters while nudging the story forward..." - New York Times

"A respectful chronicle of retribution, one that's suspenseful while resisting sensationalism." - Boston Globe

"The reason the movie works as well as it does is its two stars: Oscar Isaac and Ben Kingsley." - Entertainment Weekly
