Returning for the third installment in the gritty action saga, The Equalizer 3 aims to deepen the mysterious world of Robert McCall. With Denzel Washington’s undeniable charm at its helm and …
A biker gang run by mob brothers from Naples, Vincent and Marco , collect tribute from the poor working class and terrorize Naples and surrounding areas. One day, Robert witnesses one of these collection raids where the owner of the local fish market gets beaten to a pulp by Marco. Seeing these transgressions take place, the former CIA assassin wonders if he should continue his avenging angel streak or retire.
Richard Wenk’s scriptwriting, much like its predecessors, presents a fast-paced first act that sets the tone, but then, as if adhering to an unwritten law, the second act feels more like a prolonged intermission. In The Equalizer 3, the audience is left trailing behind Robert, who is caught in an endless loop of contemplative strolls and small talk with locals. There’s an attempt to delve into themes of redemption, but it contains little nuance to impact the protagonist’s story arc.
With his characteristic charm, Washington almost makes the viewer forget the drag. He’s sharper, wittier, and has embraced a newfound cynicism that provides knee-slapping laughs. Whatever this evolution is, it’s refreshing, adding a layer to Robert’s character that was somewhat absent in the previous outings. However, Dakota Fanning’s inclusion as Emma seems more obligatory than organic.
In its essence, the film fits into what can best be described as ‘Dad movies’ – films you’d happily take your father to, confident that Washington’s presence will win him over. Truth be told, despite its narrative pitfalls, between Washington’s effortless charm and the brilliantly executed action sequences, there’s an undeniable allure to this film for fans of the genre.
