I guess if I were to put a number to this one, it's somewhere along the lines of "2," but for different reasons. This is a serviceable action flick, with a stunning locale and as likable of a Denzel as you'll expect to get. I think where I fall out of love with things is in the slow-burn towards the action that we end up getting, all of which doesn't really amount to anything we've already seen in this franchise to date. Nothing in either of the other two "Equalizer" flicks tops the hardware store climax from the first one and, unfortunately, this might also just happen to have the weakest final set piece of the three, too. Again, an enjoyable movie — with a fun "Man On Fire" reunion between Denzel and Dakota Fanning — just not the best I've seen from this IP.… Expand

There is absolutely no reason for anyone to see this movie. The "equalizer' has 3 scenes of action, the rest, he's a wounded person and half the movie is in Italian. the story is convoluted and non-moving. It was a complete waste of time and money.

Loved it. Denzel in fine form. Very violent but in a good way. Enjoyed it on the big screen & looking forward to seeing it again.

The twist at the end proves that in a ver emotional and intimate way. You often wonder what we as an audience truly want in a movie, especially a trilogy. The Equalizer gave us a man wanting to find Peace in his life. The journey toward Peace.… Expand

Flawed, mildly entertaining Denzel Washington showcase movie with a great opening and some good tense action scenes.

Some scenes go on way too long, while other setup pieces are too short and fragmented. Still, I was entertained.… Expand

Although The Equalizer 3 feels more violent than its predecessors, it also offers less violence than its predecessors. It takes nearly an hour before McCall starts taking names and kicking ass.

Impressively the threat he faces in this installment is supposed to be a massive mafia with enormous resources to pursue him and yet it all comes down to two confrontations in the entire film.

The climax feels so rushed that it barely gives you time to process it, and once it's all over, I couldn't help but wonder where the poignant emotional depth that this final chapter was supposed to bring to the character had disappeared to.

Yes, perhaps it's an ending, but it doesn't provide any real closure.… Expand

It’s solid-enough. Denzel does his charming Denzel thing, and a few of the kills are really creative. Does take a while to get going, but can’t say I was ever bored.

Natch, he quickly dispatches them all and calmly staggers away. Since he was wounded, he spends time recovering with a kindly doctor in a charming little seaside Italian village. Before long the local criminals emerge to terrify the locals, which he tolerates until he can't. While the brutal encounters are spread out, it's wonderful watching Washington enjoy this quiet life, while falling in love with the community. There are fewer fights than many current action flicks, but they're brutally effective. Director Antoine Fuqua has taken what could have been a by-the-numbers plot and expanded it to create a compelling character on top.… Expand
