‘The Equalizer 2’ is an excellent sequel with more intense action

 All in all, 'The Equalizer 2' is an excellent sequel, which improves on  the strengths of the original. Although suffering from problems with its  plot and pacing, the film exceeds with Denzel Washington’s performance  and the acting of its supporting cast, character interactions in its  subplots, and intense and interesting action scenes. A fun, worthy  sequel that is a blast to watch.
