What in life can take you back to the raw, rugged, warlike life you once abandoned? For Robert McCall (Denzel Washington), it’s the murder of his friend.

Denzel Washington

Denzel’s handling of the character of McCall is natural and on point as he switches between being a regular guy driving a car for a living and a sophisticated Special Forces agent.

Nobody knows fury like Denzel Washington when he is robbed of the beautiful people in his life.

‘The Equalizer 2’ goes a long way to prove that a strong desire for justice can drive a man to the precipice of crime. But how does one achieve equality in a system deeply rooted in class stratification? How does one find justice in a “justice-kwashiorkored” society? Every thought and action of McCall (Denzel Washington) in this film takes the audience through revolutionary answers to the questions which have for long beleagured human socities. Starring in this American thriller are Denzel Washington, Ashton Sanders, Bill Pullman, Melisa Leo and Pedro Pascal.

Distributed by Silverbird Film, ‘The Equalizer 2’ is already showing in cinemas in Nigeria, Ghana and Liberia.
