The Equalizer 2

Robert McCall, who serves an unflinching justice for the exploited and oppressed, embarks on a relentless, globe-trotting quest for vengeance when his former partner is murdered.
What critics thought
Critics landed squarely in the middle on this one, finding it competent but disposable — a sequel that repeats the first film's vigilante formula without adding much reason for its own existence. Audiences, however, embraced it considerably more warmly than the critics did, suggesting a real gap between press reception and popular enjoyment.
“The good news is that fans of Antoine Fuqua's The Equalizer—a bland and pulpy 2014 riff on the '80s TV series of the same name—are in for more of the same. The bad news is the rest of us are too.”
