- GoofsClearly visible during the final 15 minutes of film, during the final shootout in a hurricane, David is on the tower, exposed to the hurricane rains and winds, yet never gets wet. McCall does not get wet either even though he runs through the hurricane wind and rain for the final 15 minutes. The three other bad guys are clearly soaking wet as they seek McCall out, but Dave and McCall never are wet at any time.

A Little Less Action, A Little More Substance
The Equalizer 2 had less action and less fighting than the first but it was no less good. It had a more serious and somber tone and it was definitely more cerebral. Robert McCall (Denzel Washington) was on the trail of those responsible for his friend's death. He had to use some shrewd investigative skills to discover whether or not her death was intentional and who the killers were. But, while Robert was dealing with that he still had time to do some clean up in his hometown of Boston--and I mean clean up in every sense of the words.
I liked the different characters in this movie and I particularly liked Robert's interaction with Miles (Ashton Sanders), the young African American male headed down the wrong path. The high-energy, pulse-racing fights weren't aplenty like the first installment but in their place was a little more substance. It was a fine trade off.
