The Equalizer 3

"This movie has a fantastic opening sequence, then slows down for a bit but builds slowly with some pretty violent action scenes into the final act. It was nice to see Dakota Fanning working with Denzel again after they did Man On Fire together so many years ago. Overall, a great addition to the franchise. 8/10"

"I bought the hype and couldn’t wait til it was streaming somewhere. Boy was it worth it. Antione Fuqua rarely misses (except Eq2) and he brings back the heart from the first. This franchise might not be in the MI or Wick bracket but it’s close. Denzel is 69 damn years old and still KAATN’s! I was skeptical about Dakota going in but she was amazing. Great stuff. "

"Denzel ia at the top of his game and makes this movie both wildly entertaining and a master class! I was giddy to see he and Dakota Fanning working together again! The Italian backdrop and scenery was intoxicating! I hope this isn't his last equalizer film!"

"A slow buildup to a blood letting finale ... but doesn't feel like it catches. Ultimately, gratifying anyway."

"It was really cool to see Dakota Fanning in this movie. The film was just a bunch of killing. Not my cup of tea and if you have mirror touch do not watch it. "

"Sorry Denzel but parts one and two was much nicer even though Sicily was gorgeous setting. Don’t worry, I still think you are an incredible actor! "

"A brutal yet really satisfying third installment, with a jaw-dropping intro to boot as well as beautiful locales. Strong editing, cinematography, and storytelling as well (the director Antoine Fuqua is really underrated as a storyteller IMO). Another reliably charismatic performance from Denzel, and I also happy to see a MAN ON FIRE reunion of sorts (with Dakota Fanning and Denzel appearing in that film too). Easily one of the best action trilogy franchises ever made, with no misses among any of the films (I can only think of JOHN WICK franchise being similar in terms of consistency). Denzel totally deserves the praise he has been getting of late as being among the greatest actors ever, forging a totally unique career path of his own blending blockbusters with acting showcases (sometimes both at the same time) and being equally adept at both. Not to mention spend his 60s carrying an action franchise of his own (he was 60 when the first EQUALIZER released). I personally am really happy regarding this development, as Denzel is easily one of the most reliable movie stars in terms of delivering entertainment and quality performances. His ability to be effortlessly charismatic is truly something to behold. PS: I heard that Denzel Washington will appear in the now-filming sequel to GLADIATOR (with the original film's director Ridley Scott also directing the sequel), which I am looking forward to seeing despite hating the first film, and he is the only reason why."

"Kinda slow at first but it’s a really good movie"

"It's enjoyable but just like the previous sequel, it doesn't fully capture the feel of the first Equalizer. I do like the more slow burn feel to this movie though."

"Soooo good!! The speeches and fight scenes 👌🏽."
