The Equalizer 3 is the final film in the action packed revenge thriller trilogy. It follows Robert McCall, a former government assassin, reprised by Denzel Washington, who now uses his skills to help those in need. This time around, McCall is living in Southern Italy, where he has found some peace and quiet. But when he discovers that his friends are under the control of local crime bosses, he must step in to protect them.
The film does a great job of balancing action, suspense, and drama. The action sequences are well-choreographed and exciting. Additionally, the film also features some nice twists and turns.
Washington is once again superb as McCall, he brings the intensity of the originals along with a sensitivity and kindness. He is supported by a strong cast that includes Dakota Fanning and Eugenio Mastrandrea. It was nice seeing the reunion of Fanning and Washington from the 2004 classic Man on Fire. It was also great to see Mastrandrea in a different role since his breakout in the Netflix drama miniseries From Scratch. They were both likable and had a descent amount of range.
One minor criticism is that McCall doesn't really face enough adversity in the film. He just blows through his enemies like they're nothing. Similar to those familiar with The Power Rangers tv show where the heroes easily defeat the Putties. It would have been nice to see him tested a bit more.
Overall, The Equalizer 3 is a great way to end the trilogy. It is a clever full-circle film that brings the franchise to a satisfying conclusion. It is well-made and entertaining with great acting and action sequences. I highly recommend it to fans of the previous films, as well as anyone who enjoys a good action thriller.
