"The Equalizer 3" begins when Robert McCall (Denzel Washington) raids a criminal organization in Southern Italy. He is seriously injured and is taken to the town of Altomonte by police officer Gio (Eugenio Mastrandrea). During his recovery, McCall gradually falls in love with the people here and decides that this land will be the place where he will retire. However, he later discovers that a mafia organization led by boss Vincent (Andrea Scarduzio) is terrorizing the people to seize power here. In addition, a group of agents from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) led by Emma Collins (Dakota Fanning) also discovers McCall's true identity. With no other choice, he is forced to return to his killer instinct...
Against a notorious "cold-blooded" mafia organization, Robert McCall's final battle is more intense and fierce than the previous parts. In addition, the film is also an emotional ending for a former agent who has persistently fought to protect innocent people for many years, but has not been able to find peace in his soul.
"The Equalizer 3" received widespread praise from critics and audiences. The film has a 76% positive rating on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, and received an A grade in a survey conducted by market research firm CinemaScore among audiences.
"Denzel Washington has never made a sequel in his 30-year career. Robert McCall is the man to do it," said Aaron Peterson of The Hollywood Outsider. "This is a tense thriller, with more to think about than other works in the action genre."
Director Antoine Fuqua shared: "The action scenes have appeared in previous 'Equalizer' films, but this one is really more about McCall. It's like his final masterpiece. Usually, he rescues other people, but this time, there are people who actually rescue him in some way."
