The Equalizer 2

I got exactly what I wanted from this sequel - Denzel Washington brings another great performance, and thankfully the rest of the production improves upon the original. I thoroughly enjoyed this. It's still nothing that gave me any sort of wow factor, admittedly, but it has that extra little something more that I felt the 2014 film was missing. The supporting cast/characters are more memorable for one, with Pedro Pascal and Ashton Sanders being very welcomed additions. Pacing-wise it's also improved, as is the whole vibe of the flick in truth. The twist is a good'un, while the use of weather is excellent; using stormy conditions can easily be overdone, as seen in 2020's <em>'<a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/force-of-nature/" rel="nofollow">Force of Nature</a>'</em> for example, but it really adds to the atmosphere here nicely. We're just short of a year from <em>'The Equalizer 3'</em>? Sign me up!
