The Equalizer 3 - Movie Review &to me
letting you know right out the gate this video is brought to you by private internet access going to talk about that a little later but first Denzel's back baby [Music] so The Equalizer 3 is the third chapter and Antoine fuqua's equalizer Trilogy starring Denzel said to be the final chapter as well but they're all the Final Chapter until they're not for equalizer three Denzel's character is settled down in this nice little town in Italy I mean by settle down I mean he was wounded and he's been patched up he's been healing in this town and it's an amazing place too nice people gorgeous scenery delicious food the kind of place where if you go to vacation there you seriously consider just forgetting to come back but of course Underneath It All there are these organized crime scumbags terrorizing the citizens there luckily this is an equalizer movie which means these simple rules apply the more you [Ø¢ __Ø¢ ] around the more you're going to find out now first of all Denzel carries this movie he's essentially carried the entire Trilogy the man is a consummate professional I can't say anything new that hasn't already been said about Denzel over the decades you show me a Denzel role in which he just phones it in I will show you a movie you apparently slept through complete and total goat and he carries this film as well he's intense he's deliberate you know what I love about his character in these movies is he all but begs the baddies to just not [Ø¢ __Ø¢ ] around let's not find out today just go away please you really feel it in equalizer three you really feel like he wants to enjoy the retirement that he's just fallen into you feel that sense of community and in a way in equalizer 3 you've never seen before you feel that his characters found some sort of joy happiness and even peace now we will say this movie is more of a slow burn than I thought it was going to be maybe more of a slow burn than some people want it to be starts out with an action sequence holds you over and appreciative on that because it is a nice satisfying bloody one but after that it takes about an hour to really get things going in the meantime you're hanging out with Denzel in this town as he's getting to know the people you see the organized crime scumbag elements start to rear its ugly head they start to cause problems there's definitely a trajectory into conflict that is coming but for that first hour it really is seeing Denzel get attached to the townspeople funny enough I I can't remember any of the characters names but you kind of don't have to in order to feel these sense of community I'm like hey you got the doctor guy the cop guy the nice lady at the cafe that might be a me thing I'm [Ø¢ __Ø¢ ] with names anyway suppose the point is it is impressive that you don't need to know their names in order to feel the sense of community to feel the need for this world these people this way of life to be protected from [Ø¢ __Ø¢ ] point being it being a slow burn it was burning with purpose Antoine fuke while used that first half of the film to get you attached to the community though not so much the individual one that stands out is Dakota Fanning in the film it does feel like she's the film's day one DLC like they had the movie and they were like oh we need some American CIA element in here okay here she is there is a full circle thing that ends up happening by the end but I feel like her character in the film just ended up padding the run time this movie does feel a bit too long looking for Corners to shave to make the run time shorter that whole Arc would be it love the banter too I don't know the banter is the word but there is some Snappy dialogue and comebacks in this film are you warning me I'm preparing you ever have a heated discussion debate argument otherwise a verbal altercation then when you're driving home and it's long over you think of what you should have said you're like ah wish I'd said that he never has that problem he says the optimum thing to say in the moment it's a superpower that is every bit as entertaining to watch as the action is and I will say the big bad egg is a lot of the guys you're dealing with are the street level [Ø¢ __Ø¢ ] but the big Baddie the guy in charge of it all I felt it came into the scene far too late in the film I mean largely throughout the film when you've been dealing with these street level villains who've been terrorizing this community and you've been dealing with them as the villains of the film to bring in the guy behind it all just for the last act felt wasteful but in the end I enjoyed myself equalizer 3 isn't John Wick it's easy to compare equalizer to John Wick maybe at a it's like Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo similar at a glance but in reality so different it's not a balls to the wall from beginning to end action sequence on the edge of your seat type action film much more of a slow burn for the first half but like I said that first half is used very well and I have myself a good time no alcohol required and once again letting you know this video is brought to you by private internet access the VPN service which hides your IP address
