Denzel Washington's first ever sequel, the action thriller "The Equalizer 2" directed by Antoine Fuqua, is now in theaters. The film has received mixed reviews from critics, but some decent scores from audiences. We have two more sequels opening in theaters this week: the musical "Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again", and the horror "Unfriended: Dark Web". In limited release, it might be worth checking out the dramedy "Blindspotting", which has been receiving rave reviews.

BLINDSPOTTING
Official Synopsis
Collin (Daveed Diggs) must make it through his final three days of probation for a chance at a new beginning. He and his troublemaking childhood best friend, Miles (Rafael Casal), work as movers, and when Collin witnesses a police shooting, the two men's friendship is tested as they grapple with identity and their changed realities in the rapidly-gentrifying neighborhood they grew up in. Longtime friends and collaborators, Daveed Diggs and Rafael Casal co-wrote and star in this timely and wildly entertaining story about friendship and the intersection of race and class set against the backdrop of Oakland. Bursting with energy, style, and humor, and infused with the spirit of rap, hip hop, and spoken word, Blindspotting, boldly directed by Carlos Lopez Estrada in his feature film debut, is a provocative hometown love letter that glistens with humanity.
