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

Goofs
The Belgian hotel's hallways have North American-style exit signs, beige quadrilaterals with "EXIT" illuminated in red letters. European-style exit signs are usually white-and-green rectangles, showing a stick figure running towards an open door.

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.

5/10

Very slow and predictable

I had my expectations high because I was very impressed with the first one. Unfortunately this one is a bit of a disappointment owing to the pacing and predictability of the story. It was slower and boring. If they decide to make a third one then they should make it a bit more fast paced.
