A kick-ass third installment! The story depicted in <em>'The Equalizer 3'</em> is surprisingly straightforward, it's literally just Robert McCall reactively killing bad guys for almost two hours... so what's not to enjoy?! Denzel Washington in the lead role is as ace as he is in the prior flicks, I am yet to watch a less than good Denzel picture; 15 films deep into his filmography, what an actor! I don't recall the previous two movies from this trilogy featuring as many brutal deaths as this one does, which is great. I could be misrembering but, whatever, I really enjoyed seeing McCall do his thing in this one. The music is also noteworthy, while the Italian setting is splendidly portrayed - terrific choice of location! The support cast are inferior to Washington, naturally, but still solid, cool to see Dakota Fanning reunite onscreen with the aforementioned. End of the trilogy it seems, though there are murmurs on potentially more films in some sorta way - hardly unexpected. As for these three, 2 is my favourite followed by this and then 1. Antoine Fuqua (also yet to see a less than very good movie from him, from 7 watched) and Washington are evidently a top notch pairing, either way.

Yesterday evening me and the kids, well the two boys at least, sat down to watch The Equalizer 3 which has been sitting on my to-watch shelf for a while. I have quite liked the previous two instalments and this was was a quite good movie as well. It starts of with a fairly brutal, The Equalizer style, slaying of a bunch of bad guys but then McCall gets shot in the back by a kid and goes into a bit of a funk. The entire movie slows down quite a bit after that while McCall goes around moping. It was actually a bit boring and I could have been without that. Still, McCall is McCall and the movie does pick up speed again after a while. There are some quite nice action scenes as we approach the ending and the way McCall disposes of the bad guys towards the end is quite brutal. When I saw that the movie had an R-rating in the states I thought, yeah right this is another one of these movies where they show a boob or two or use adult language and then the easily offended whiners go all must-be-restricted-bullshit over it but I guess it was because of the brutal slayings after all. Still, in France it got a restricted from 12 years and below which is far from an R-rating and more reasonable. Guess we got less whining asshats here. Overall a good movie though. Technically, the filming and the acting was very good. If not for the boring parts for almost half the movie it might have gotten a 5 out of 5 from me.

A lot of people shit on this film. They are all wrong. E1, he needed permission to kill. He got that permission. E2, I don't remember. E3...he still kills. Story is ridiculous! No reason for any of it...except Denzel. Gotta be neat. Gotta be nice. Gotta kill. He does it all. Denzel is the best.

Equalizer and Equalizer 2 were great action movies and this 3rd Equalizer doesn't disappoint either. Denzel as always rocks with his character. If you liked first and second part, you will like this one too. Equalizer, Taken and Extraction series are my favorite action movies.

Another solid entry in this franchise. Nothing fantastic and not as good as the first, but still entertaining thanks to the great Denzel Washington. Also nice seeing the reunion with Dakota Fanning and cool twist about her character at the end. The only downside is it doesn't have the visual pazazz compared with the first film and is kind of routine in its direction by Antoine Fuqua who is normally a solid director. **3.5/5** And as a side, not sure the last time I've seen a franchise so consistent at the box office with all three movies making ~$180 million worldwide and ~$35 million on opening weekends domestically.
