Some of the time sequels disappoints, however not this one! I enjoyed it much more than the first.
Denzel Washington conveyed a wonderful execution again as McCall, one section benevolent and respectful, and very crafty and savage for the second, and he does all this magical acting very easily. This story has a lot of sensational minutes that will keep on the edge of your seat.
And you have to give Antoine Fuqua a lot of credit. We all have seen his great direction skill in The training Day (2001). The Equalizer 2 has the same level of action and thrill like that movie. And, we all know that Denzel Washington won an Oscar for that film.
I was very happy when I knew a sequel of The Equalizer was coming out after they had released their first film. But it took a lot of time for the sequel to get released. But better late than never, as it’s released I was glad and really liked crime/thriller genre a lot. So I liked it too.
Overview of the plot
In the event that you have an issue and there is no place else to turn, the secretive and subtle Robert McCall will convey the vigilante equity you look for. This time, be that as it may, McCall's past slices particularly up close when hooligans kill Susan Plummer in Brussels - his closest companion and previous partner. He had partnered up with her in various mission while he was a special force agent.
Now he becomes filled with rage and start seeking revenge. Start hunting the culprits and want to find out why they had killed her. But the culprits are a bunch of assassins and they won’t surrender easily. And, they won’t prevent themselves from killing McCall because they want to protect their secrets.
How’s this one compared to the first one?
Obviously, this motion picture was awesome, it's a Denzel film. As the first spin-off of his film career, it did an excellent job. Every scene is quite intriguing. In the main film, he was the chased. In this one, he is the chaser.
The prequel has a phenomenal villain that was similarly as intense as Denzel. The spin-off didn't have a villain, yet all things considered, still, it's a movie worth watching.
When it comes to action, you essentially get what you expect and the film plays out in a fundamentally the same as it did in the previous one, however, I think the pacing is unmistakably enhanced here. With some sensible murders, special force fighting skills and the last set-piece that felt exceptionally special for a film this way, I was awed all the way.

Unlike other action films, this doesn’t have a massive measure of CGI. But that’s what made it more realistic.
So, in my opinion, it’s better than the first one. I’m hoping for a third.
Overall Review
The most flawlessly awesome thing about this film is the way that it doesn't have much association with its prequel at all and truly stands without anyone else. Denzel Washington constantly demonstrates why he is known as one of the best on-screen characters of our age and his execution here doesn't obstruct that by any stretch of the imagination.
In general, The Equalizer 2 does nearly everything that the main film neglected to improve. And that's the situation to me. It makes a convincing purpose behind him (McCall) to need to plunge into his past; it acquires new supporting characters that add a truly necessary profundity to the general enthusiastic center. For a strong two hours, I think this film really did well.

The Equalizer 2 has a few problems too. Like the dark scenes, a little bit predictable story and an action film with no villains. Yet, in the event that you delighted the prequel of this franchise or on the off chance that you loved it in any capacity, I guarantee you won't be frustrated after watching this.
A teenager was also seen in this film who receives help from McCall. He might become McCall’s prodigy in the upcoming films of this franchise.
