    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      After over fifty-five film and television credits, this was Denzel Washington's first sequel.
    • Goofs
      Clearly 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.
    • Quotes

      Robert McCall: There are two kinds of pain in this world. The pain that hurts, the pain that alters.

      [In Turkish]

      Robert McCall: Today, you get to choose.

    • Alternate versions
      Most UK releases are pre-cut for a 15 certificate, reducing scenes of "strong violence and gore". The following footage was removed, totaling 11s of cuts:
      • an already broken arm being further twisted
      • two knives being pulled upwards in a man's body at the end of a stabbing
      • a gory shot of insides hanging out after an explosion
      • a man's spine being severed before he's thrown off a building
      The 4K version is uncut and rated 18.

    Very overrated
    What is happening here. Reading these reviews here one would think this is oscar worthy. Its not. Corny Denzel walking around too cool for school with his stupid one-liners and his stop-time watch for his value system while killing people left and right EVERYWHERE and nobody notices. Not to mention he is sooo mysterious with his secret past and he is so cool and tortured at the same time, his young protegee just cannot get a grip on his character. Mind you, I love simple action movies, from Crank type to oldschool Van Damme or even almighty Chuck Norris. But there is a difference between a quality B movie and a totally uninspired,lame,ridiculous story wanna be blockbuster. Seriously, the story here is so incredibly dull and one dimensional that it is baffling it was approved. Actually to think of it, there is no story really. Consider it, what is actually the plot?, who the real bad guy and motivation? Its just some folks trying to kill eachother basically. Porn flicks have a more complex story. And then at the end , force some dramatic BS and feel good stuff to try to even it all out. Nah,doesnt work that way- This is a pure greed and money grab by the studio, nothing more, nothing less. Do not waste you time for this POS.
