He have to face rival John Shaft which was original played Richard Roundtree in the 70's then he reprise for the movie with Samuel Jackson the Private dick in 2000, when current Felix Leiter Casino Royale & Quantum of Solace Geoffrey Wright play the Villain role in that movie also Live & Let Die & LTK David Hedison did a part in the short TV series. Now the reboot of Shaft either in TV series or movie? The Equalizer Vs Shaft.
This year in Around August 2018 Equailzer 2 will be released. His rival Shaft with Samuel Jackson & Richard Roundtree will be Next year 2019
It'd need your undivided attention. :D
Well it's a theater trip or waiting for it to hit 4K for me, and I'll probably save it for the latter option - so eventually! It does look great.
I'm sure I will forget...I will try to at least !!
The film only borrows the basic concept of the show. Other than the protagonist character name and some minor signature tropes, they're very little alike.

Exept the name and living in darker street and his hate for coverment traters.
Possible he eating in snackbar with his own food and not sleep much can be part of it. But it be whyle i watched series.
From promotion of second movie, get idea there will at the car element and get more background.
The movie whas lighter then i expect, but also have more rude kills.
The one part where the film definitely fell short for me was the climax. Potentially it could've been great --four men stalking another one in the midst of a hurricane--, but I found it a bit dull, lacking in interest. It was no match for the imaginative fight at the home depot store in the previous film. It brought the main storyline to a bit of a disappointing end, lacking punch and intensity.
That said, I thought the whole beginning and middle of that main story involving Susan was very well handled. Her early scenes were satisfying and her death had dramatic impact; it wasn't just a catalyst for action scenes.
I'm not an expert on the TV show, but this film felt a bit closer to it than the first one. Though that aside, I still prefer the original film.
An admirably restrained effort but one that is overwritten and has enough subplotting to do two films. Denzel anchors the whole thing together really well, and the acting is pretty good across the board. However, instead of feeling episode in nature, the film feels like a whole season. The main plot only becomes a central focus after the halfway point, which really takes away from the effectiveness of the villains.
Most films have a beginning, middle and end. THE EQUALIZER 2 has a really long beginning and then ends.
Still, Denzel is worth the time and I'd be happy to see a third film. Just keep it simple next time, Fuqua.
All I know is that they "blackwashed" the main character.
Both movies are really slow but still enjoyable. I like the idea of the character and the overall story.
I really like the character and I really miss seeing these type of characters.
Denzel is a great actor.
First movie positevely surprised me.
Second one was more of the same in vibe/style wise, but I think it lacked a good action scene like the first one.
I liked the first one more.
If they make a third one... why not. I liked both of them, but I don't think these movies will appear to a wider audience.
I liked the part of the 2nd movie where he tries to help the community and his neighbours.
Really likeable character and dynamic of the character. I guess I should watch the series maybe :D
btw....the movies/character/whatever..soooorta...remind me of..
Vengeance Unlimted.
Did anyone hear of this series? I am not sure if I should make a thread for it since it's a one season only series with Michael Madsen that's not really popular..not even sure if it's out on DVD...
It was a spy-ish/detective-ish series. I really enjoyed it. Basically Michael Madsen is a detective that asks for no money. He'll help your case but only if you owe him a favour in the future.
Really good character and really good series.
They certainly won't appeal to a wider audience @dragonsky but thankfully they don't really need to. The great thing about character-driven action films like this is that they are mostly made on a budget of $70-80million, which means they only need to hit $200million worldwide or so to remain viable. Thanks to the following that Denzel has as an actor, that's never too much of an issue.
I liked the villains in the second one but felt they needed a bit more to do. They kind of forced it a bit too much, and McCall dispatched goons a bit too easily.
Yes.
Better making 3th movie, but if Universal take rights back from Sony there better can do re-release of first season and release the other seasons then making a new series. Or making a deal with Fox, MGM & EON and finaly release Remmington Steel on dvd in Europe like The Netherlands (With commentary, making of material and more) or making Remmington Steel movie with Brosnan.
