Wick's Review
Summary - Really Great 4.5
Formulaic sequels like The Equalizer 3 don’t get any respect. However, they make for immensely satisfying cinematic experiences when executed to perfection. E3 pretty much executes to perfection.
Indeed, it fires on damn near all cylinders: a perfect film led by a nonpareil moviestar, working with longtime collaborators behind the camera. In front of the camera is none other than Denzel Washington, Mt. Rushmore moviestar. The rest of the cast is far from perfect, but that hardly mars the movie, which is eminently worth seeing in theaters.
The Equalizer series could hardly be better. If E3 is the swan song, it’s going out on top.
• The Equalizer 1 – Very Good
• The Equalizer 2 – Really Great
• The Equalizer 3 – Really Great
Acting - Very Good 3.5
Denzel is only rivaled by Tom Cruise in moviestar power, and exceeds Tom Terrific in hypnotic magnetism.
Given that, it’s ok that his costars will never be more than costars.

Antoine Fuqua directs a mafia movie and an avenger movie and a perfect postcard to the classic charms of provincial Italy.
