I gave the first Equalizer movie an A+, so this one had a tough act to follow. Plus, I just rewatched the first movie last night before seeing EQ2, so it’s fresh in my mind.
EQ2 is a very good movie, but not as good as the first. The action is about as good, with the exception that the last fight scene in EQ2 wasn’t nearly as good as the fight scene in the hardware store at the end of EQ.
Where EQ2 fails — the story is choppy. There’s a lot of back and forth between cities, mainly Boston and DC, with a dash of Brussels here and there. I think I saw the common “travelling” cue of a passenger jet landing at least three times in this movie.

There were plenty of short stories, especially early on, where Robert is helping people out. That much works well, as it did in the first movie.
It’s a waste of time to talk about how well Denzel Washington performed: brilliant, as always. It is however, worth mentioning that Ashton Sanders, as Miles the artist, did a fantastic job with many difficult scenes. This guy has a bright future ahead of him.
We learn more about Robert’s past, but not everything. So I’m hoping we’ll learn more in EQ3.

About Peetimes:
This was a rare occasion where 3 of us watched the movie together and worked on the Peetimes. We all agreed that the 3 Peetimes we have here are very good.
The 1st Peetime has a little more plot development than the others, but was easy to summarize.
What people are saying about the RunPee app.
Single best investment
By and far best investment Ive made. I used to drive my husband nuts because Id be a fidgeting mess the last half hour of the movie trying not to miss important parts. Now I just turn this app on and *bam* I can actually focus on the movie the whole time. Even puts alerts to my watch so even better. Also I can guarentee all the 5 reviews arent fake as one person accused – its just that so many of us movie-goers had the same problem and this fixed it. Yes, it is paid but jeeze its expensive to keep watching movies and updating an app for every movie. And if you read more about the creator he mentions he has several people contributing – so yeah its paid but omg worth every cent. 10/10

The 2nd is mostly action, but with an unimportant/unknown character.
The 3rd is the buildup to the last fight scene, and has almost no dialog and zero action.

Creator and developer of the RunPee app. When something doesn’t work right in the app it’s pretty much his fault. 🙂
Aspiring author. Would like to finish his “Zombie Revelations” trilogy if he could break away for working on RunPee and the cottage he’s building for RunPee Mom.
