Summary
Retired intelligence officer Robert McCall, now living quietly in Boston and driving for a rideshare service, continues to deliver justice to those who prey on the vulnerable. When his close friend and former colleague Susan Plummer is murdered while investigating a case, McCall sets out to find those responsible, a hunt that draws him back into the violent world he thought he had left behind.
The Equalizer 2 (2018) is a film IMDb files under the action, crime and mystery genres.
13,058 other films from the 2010s form the cohort it is ranked inside. The calibrated figure is built from 709 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 738 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where The Equalizer 2 lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2010s (13,059 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 709.
