Director Antoine Fuqua reunites with Denzel Washington in this sequel to 2014's The Equalizer.

When his long-time friend Susan Plummer (Melissa Leo) is murdered, he embarks on a relentless, globe-trotting quest for vengeance.

Thoughts;

The first movie was amazing and sometimes with sequels you worry that it will ruin the movie or theme. Movie studios sometimes overdo things and the 2^nd isn't always as good as the first.
This movie was pretty good, it kept going throughout the movie and kept with the style of the first movie.



I love that there are little things in this movie, like the first one, he is living a boring life on the outside but things are going through his mind. This one took a bit to get to the “main” issue and thing that was happening, however it was totally worth it

One day, Susan and DIA operative Dave York, McCall's former teammate, are called to investigate an apparent murder-suicide of an agent and his wife in Brussels.
