The Equalizer 3 (2023)

Genre: Action / Thriller
Directed by: Antoine Fuqua
Cast: Denzel Washington, Dakota Fanning, David Denman
Running time: 109 minutes

 


After a special mission in a winery located in Sicily, Robert McCall ends up badly injured and is taken in by the local doctor in small coastal Italian town, where he can recuperate and gain back his strength. While walking about town, McCall finds a small paradise where the inhabitants are terrorized by members of the Camorra. The former DIA agent decides his next mission will be to help free these people from the mafia stranglehold upon them.

I hope this installment concludes the linear story of the Robert McCall storyline, as it was the best one so far. It would be a great way to bring the whole tale full circle.

As usual, Denzel Washington is convincing in the lead role. The supporting cast does its job also. Antoine Fuqua has a knack for cinematic storytelling, and he brings the whole thing together with lots of talent. The scenery was magnificent and made me want to go to Italy. The story was compelling and offered a great lesson on redemption and coming to terms with one’s past.
