The equalizer always has a "you should've..." scene; 'you should've taken the money, you should've let me in' and they're all great. This installment doesn't hold back on action, while the first two films had the most memorable fights, this one still stands on its own. Plot progresses a little slower but still engaging. It's predictable, but that simplicity works in its favor, with no unnecessary additions which for me was the writers exude confidence in their narrative. This is exactly what you'd expect from an Equalizer film. The protagonist is more humane and compassionate, yet the action maintains its brutality. It's a journey of revenge and finding peace, a fitting end to the trilogy. The pacing is good, having serene moments alongside thrilling fights without changing the vibe of the film. The sudden religious rally confused me though; perhaps I just missed something earlier. It's Denzel Washington being a badass, always a treat to watch for me. Didn't give it a perfect rating. While it didn't blow me away, I thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend it. A trilogy binge-watch would make for a fun day, and I wish they'd re-release it for a triple feature like they did with Black Panther in cinemas.
