Equalizer2 - works as a taxi driver (this time), listens to his passengers, fixes their problems.
Gritty action adventure.
Based on the British 1980's TV drama.
Denzel Washington plays the mysterious Black Ops veteran with O.C.D. Denzel works as a taxi driver this time, listens to his passengers, fixes their problems. Denzel plays the customary 'father figure' to a talented teenage artist who he meets, who is in with the wrong crowd and being led astray, so he helps him with advice 'it takes talent to make money, but it takes brains to keep it' - basically 'stay in school and work hard'. Revenge and brutality are frequent themes in the multitude of plots, but it's Denzel who carries the film throughout.
Not great but better than the original, starts well, but goes a little downhill from the hurricane scene towards the end to the end (15 minutes)
7/10
