MOVIE: The Equalizer 2 (Film Review)

https://dhalahorecinema.com/amy-movie/the-equalizer-2/

We were so excited to watch Equalizer 2, not only because it’s an action film for my hubby, but I must say, its prequel was a must a see movie. And hey, who would say no to Denzel Washington, whose character is a Former Marine and Defense Intelligence Agency spy named Robert McCall now lives in a diverse apartment complex in urban Massachusetts

The first part looked promising. A low-profile commoner with unique skills and charming personality will save    though the next scene seems disconnected, and the next scene, and then the next and another next.  What happened was every chunk of the movie looks admirable yet once you combine them altogether, the result was a bit messy. So many subplots involved which gave you a 2-eating-popcorn-hours. But If you will just focus on the main plot it will only take 1hour I guess. I really don’t fathom the intensity of the story if it’s all about his life as lyft driver, or just someone who has a sufficient abilities and be a hero.

I also didn’t feel the so called highlight of the film. The Tom-n-Jerry chasing scene amidst a hurricane didn’t save the film as it looks unnatural and unnecessary.

Antoine Fuqua is such a great director as he’s the same person behind The Training Day, also stars dashing Denzel Washington. But maybe this is not their glorious collaboration this year.

Not this one.
