 The Equalizer 2 starring Denzel Washington. McCall is a sjw. Nice opening scene on a train in Turkey. He is helping people out in need. I think that he lives in a new apartment. Works as a Lyft driver. Is obsessive compulsive. Expect violence. Thriller. There is that Sherlock Holmes, Spider Man vibe when there is trouble. See Training Day, Safehouse, Fences, Malcolm X, Roman J Esquire, Fallen, John Q, The Preacher's Wife, De Javu. He keeps in contact with old friends. Thinks about his wife Vivian. There are new villains. There is a twist. Impressive finale location scene. You might like the soundtrack.

His wife Rose is at home. His colleague and neighbour Bono is a good friend. The eldest son Lyons visits asking to borrow money. Casual conversation between the characters. Based on the stage play. Won awards. Apartied exists. The younger son Cory is studying at college and playing football. Gabe is a man, staying at someone's house. suffering from mental health problems. PTSD. He is Troy's brother. Great cast of actors. Drama directed by Mr. Washington. Cory and Troy work together on putting up a fence. Special features included. Cert 12. There are the various characters that Denzel played. Politically his views differ. Black Lives Matter. You might like Hidden Figures, Malcolm X, Selma, Detroit, Life, The Butler, Birth Of A Nation, 12 Years A Slave. Some good points raised in the dialogue. Troy has the best lines.
