![]() ![]() The Equalizer 2, which pairs Washington with director Antoine Fuqua once again, doesn’t quite reach those same heights. The fight is capped off by the familiar “duel in the rain” sequence that features in so many action movies, except this one is improbably, delightfully staged inside the Home Mart warehouse. ![]() Denzel Washington, starring as retired CIA black ops operative Robert McCall (though his character’s name is about as important as Liam Neeson’s in Taken, which, to wit, I have forgotten), destroys a crew of gun-toting Russian mobsters in the Home Depot knockoff “Home Mart,” taking them down one by one with all manner of home improvement tools. The grand finale of the first Equalizer movie is one of the most sublimely silly sequences I’ve ever seen.
