The Equalizer 2 is directed by Antoine Fuqua and stars Denzel Washington, Melissa Leo and Pedro Pascal. It’ll be interesting to see what Fuqua and Washington have in store for us. The second Equalizer film is an opportunity to do something truly original with the character that was reestablished in the first Equalizer film. The way I see it, once a remake is put out, it creates an opportunity to do something new within a new, alternate version of the same story. Though I certainly am skeptical when it comes to remakes, I don’t think sequels are such a bad thing. Robert McCall serves a courageous equity for the misused and persecuted, yet how far will he go when that would someone say someone is he cherishes Your email address will not be published. Over the last few years, a lot of people have complained about the steady stream of remakes and sequels that are being greenlit. Even though it seemed like the events of the first Equalizer film were an isolated return to action for Robert McCall ( Denzel Washington) he finds himself drawn out of retirement once again when a group of mercenaries kidnap his former colleague Susan Plummer ( Melissa Leo). Also, Aunt Vi becomes nostalgic about a past romantic relationship when she receives a surprise visitor. But it’s hard to beat the entertainment value of seeing Washington take on a horde of mercenaries half his age. Bishop comes to McCall, Harry and Mel for help when a terrorist from his past uncovers the identity of his adult son, a young man Bishop has kept secret for decades to safeguard him from his intelligence work. Don’t get me wrong, it’s great seeing Washington work his magic in serious fare like Fences and Roman J.

It’s been a while since we last saw Denzel Washington kick ass in The Equalizer. Set to Kendrick Lamar's Pulitzer Prize-winning song 'Backseat Freestyle,' the first trailer for The Equalizer 2 is all kinds of intense.
