Viewers should be sure to watch ‘Man on Fire,’ a 2004 action thriller that stars Denzel Washington and Dakota Fanning.
Despite often being deemed the weakest of the trilogy,The Equalizer 2is nothing to scoff at. This time around, Washington is joined by Pedro Pascal, who plays a character very much unlike his upcoming roles in HBO’sThe Last of UsSeason 2 and Marvel’sThe Fantastic Four: First Stepslater this year.The Equalizer 2has Washington’s character at his meanest, seeking revenge for the death of a close friend. For some, it was a bit too jam-packed with characters and poorly paced in some sections, but the opening sequences and final shootout are among the best in the franchise thus far.
