The Equalizer 3

The climactic action scene is really stylish and cool, and I'll watch Denzel Washington kick ass for a couple of hours as many times as he wants to do it, but this one doesn't really try to be too much. It's fine, much like The Equalizer and The Equalizer 2. The villains are pretty unmemorable and some of the interpersonal stuff is a bit cheesy at times. If you like Denzel action, though, you won't regret the time spent watching. Just don't expect anything new.

I like this a fair bit more than the first two because it felt less strained. In 1 and 2, they HAD to make him use his surroundings to get "original" kills, but it felt silly. While he still doesn't bring a weapon really, at least the kills make sense. That and McCall is shot like a horror movie, which is interesting. He faces no real danger, he's basically just a force that appears and kills everything in sight. Enjoyed the soundtrack and watching him try to find peace.

I thought this was perfectly fine - if anything, probably a marginal step up from 1 & 2 based on being more grounded and believable. It's been said but the combo of Fuqua and Denzel is so good, and every moment Denzel is on screen (which is of course most of the movie) is pretty good stuff. I don't think they had much here for an antagonist, and that probably impacts my enjoyment a bit; at this point, the more at-risk I could have felt Denzel was, the better, and this never got me to that point.

Denzela hasa particulara seto skillzi.

I feel like the people of a seaside Italian town might be a tad more racist towards a random black guy coming to their town. Fun movie. It’s always nice to see Denzel dialed in and kicking some freakin asssss!
