If it's not broke, then don't fix it. They haven't fixed it in 40 years, and they didn't fix it in this movie, either.

“The Equalizer” films have always been junk; they’re based on a mid-1980s 온라인카지노추천 show that was no great shakes to begin with. What did Washington ever see in them?

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Oct 3, 2023

Denzel seems to be sleepwalking through every scene that doesn’t involve gouging and/or stabbing.

The Equalizer 3 marks a fitting and warm end to the franchise. It offers all the audacious violence and familiar set-pieces of the previous films, paired with a wistful goodbye to its central vigilante.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 7, 2023

Clearly Fuqua, the producers and production team are hoping viewers like their attention to aesthetics. Their dream may come true.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 6, 2023

Finally, on the series’ supposedly last outing, one of its films lives up to the ever-deepening talent of its leading man.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 6, 2023

At its best – and The Equalizer 3 is about as good as the first film -- it neatly counterbalances Fuqua’s baroque, blood-and-guts action with Washington’s ability to command attention while sitting perfectly still.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 5, 2023

It’s a step up from the messy plot of the 2018 sequel, but this movie swings too far the other way.

| Sep 5, 2023

While there are no surprises here, there are visceral kicks to be found in the businesslike efficiency of McCall’s retribution, and the devilish glint in Washington’s eye as he delivers it.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 2, 2023

While this outing is as gory as its predecessors -- a bloody, bone-crunching, axe-to-the-head tale of right over wrong -- it’s tempered by a high regard for craft and a reluctance to rush. The pace suits Washington.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 2, 2023

Surprisingly poignant and resonant.

| Sep 1, 2023

There's still stuff I liked in this one, but I was kind of disappointed.

| Sep 1, 2023

Given the simplicity of the basic template, Fuqua and Wenk cleverly weave together the various strands. The effect provides the movie with more emotional resonance, even if the overarching threat and big crime boss are almost wholly generic.

"The Threequalizer" is easily the best entry in the series, and Washington's best work in the action space in more than a decade. Consider it a relaxing vacation with a side order of violence.

| Original Score: B | Sep 1, 2023

The overarching plot of the film is pretty boilerplate, but the fine details count for a lot.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 1, 2023

“The Equalizer 3” is hot garbage. It’s also a fascinating but failed attempt by Fuqua and Washington to make their own Mann-Stewart film.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Sep 1, 2023

It delivers the goods, thanks to Washington’s performance and Fuqua’s zest for going graphic.

| Sep 1, 2023

Ignore the many problems in this violent revenge thriller and focus on the power and charisma of Denzel Washington who ends the third and final chapter in his Equalizer trilogy on a euphoric high. He’s a star, baby, and him you don’t want to miss.

| Sep 1, 2023

As much as we’ve enjoyed seeing Robert McCall make things right from Boston to Sicily, it feels like it’s time to let the man alone so he can spend his time sipping tea and anticipating his afternoon nap.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 1, 2023

Washington – Man on Simmer – keeps himself awake with a few fun, staccato line deliveries. But the flurries of pointlessly sadistic violence are jaggedly dispensed, botching the build-up.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 1, 2023
