Robert McCall finds himself at home in Southern Italy but he discovers his friends are under the control of local crime bosses. As events turn deadly, McCall knows what he has to do: become his friends' protector by taking on the mafia.
What critics thought
Critics and audiences are notably split on this franchise closer: audiences embraced it warmly while professional reviewers landed in mixed-to-decent territory. The throughline of praise runs squarely through Denzel Washington's screen presence, with the Italian setting adding visual texture critics appreciated. Where reviews diverged was on the script — broadly acknowledged as thin and formulaic — and whether Washington's star power and the action choreography are enough to paper over that weakness.
“At its best – and The Equalizer 3 is about as good as the first film – it neatly counterbalances Fuqua's baroque, blood-and-guts action with Washington's ability to command attention while sitting perfectly still.”
Clarrise Loughrey·The Independent
“Whether enjoying a cappuccino, flirting with a waitress or snapping men's forearms, Washington makes it all seem like a movie star enjoying a midlife dolce vita moment.”
Tom Shone·The Sunday Times
“For those who can tolerate extreme violence, The Equalizer 3 is diverting enough. If the script is so-so, the beautiful Italian locations, Mr. Washington's still-world-class charm and an eerie, frightening musical score by Marcelo Zarvos lift it.”
