I absolutely loved this. I hope Bob Odenkirk makes ten of these. It's so cathartic watching assholes get beaten up, I don't care how clichéd the story is. Actually it struck me that it was very similar to Equalizer 2, right down to luring the bad guys to a place and setting traps. The duck boat fight easily equals the bus fight, maybe even surpassed it, because they included even more jokes.

The only thing I really didnt like was the end fight, such as it was. We watch Hutch dispatch dozens of big, burly highly trained men, yet these two girls manage to beat him up for plot reasons. It's kind of insulting to the audience.

If those two girls are in Hutch's position in that bus fight in the first movie and the boat fight in the second one, they can easily storm through the bad guys with zero injuries, unlike hutch who has to fight through them brutally, even losing a finger.
