I definitely liked the first Equalizer....this one just didn't quite get it done as an entire body of work. The acting is great, and the action scenes are also very well done and quite slick, but I think one of the most disappointing things is that there isn't actually much action! Now, that is fine as long as the plot and the rest of the story is well done, but unfortunately it isn't. I never give away spoilers so I will simply say that the plot is nothing special, you pretty much see everything coming from a mile away and the bad guys have a real serious case of "plot stupidity" (they do really stupid things just to further the plot).
A movie that is very well done from a technical standpoint but fails the most on simply being fun/entertaining. It's not a terrible movie, probably worth a matinee showing, but I wouldn't spend full price to see it in a theater.
