The Equalizer trilogy concludes this weekend, which means now is the perfect time to look back on the series and rank them from best to worst.
has a handful of standout moments — that restaurant scene bristles with tension — but is so scatterbrained that it’s often hard to follow. Or maybe I didn’t care.
If the first two functioned as schlocky, violent, vigilante thrillers, Part 3 borrows its cues from thefranchise and mostly follows Washington’s world-weary assassin as he mingles with the local townsfolk. That’s completely fine. In fact, there were times I wished the movie wouldn’t resort to bloodshed and instead linger on Robert McCall’s relationship with his kindly doctor or that beautiful waitress.
In actuality, The Equalizer 3 doesn’t explore much or say anything. Fuqua presents ideas but never follows through with them. Washington’s Man On Fire co-starpops up for a subplot that goes nowhere, and the big payoff is so easily executed that it lacks any genuine thrills. As always, it’s fun to watch Washington strut his stuff on the big screen. As a fan of the first two Equalizer films, however, I was disappointed to see his exceptional talents go to waste. Perhaps a second viewing is in order now that I know what to expect.
