The Equalizer 2

I really wanted to like this.  Really, I did. With Antoine Fuqua directing, Denzel starring, and a successful first run reboot, what could go wrong? The action was great for sure and yes, there was more of it.  But more and better action to bulk up a sloppy and misguided film, does not make a great movie.  Certainly not one on the same caliber of quality and  expectation one would expect from this successful director and actor pairing.  How the story is executed is the problem.  There is a showdown that doesn't make any logical sense in the how and where it was executed (less you don't care about shit making sense and bad guys being intelligent in their planning).  There is also a secondary story of redemption in the life of a young Black artist that gets shamefully a bit lost in the storyline. Too bad, because both storylines were also obviously meant to advance the character of Robert McCall.
