Equalizer 3 marks the return ofAntoine Fuqua as director and Denzel Washington as Robert McCall, a former secret agent turned vigilante. The film, which follows in the footsteps of its predecessors, once again promises a blend of action and suspense. Dakota Fanning joins the cast, bringing a new face alongside regulars such as David Denman.
Equalizer 3 will be broadcast on Prime Video from January 30, 2025.
Synopsis: Since renouncing his life as a government assassin, Robert McCall struggles to make peace with his past demons and finds strange solace in defending the downtrodden. Now that he's found his haven in southern Italy, he discovers that his friends are under the control of the local mafia. When events take a deadly turn, McCall knows what he must do: protect his friends by taking on the mafia.
In this third chapter, Robert McCall has left his life as an agent behind to find himself in southern Italy, seeking peace away from the violence of his past. However, the tranquility is short-lived when he discovers that his new friends are caught in the clutches of the local mafia. The situation quickly escalates, and McCall is forced to return to his old ways to protect those he cares about. The stakes are high, and confrontations with the mob promise to be explosive.
Aimed at thriller and action movie fans, Equalizer 3 should also appeal to those following Denzel Washington's career. The film stands out for its picturesque Italian setting and the introduction of new characters who bring a fresh dynamic to the saga. This new opus could therefore captivate both loyal fans and a new audience attracted by an intense international plot.
Equalizer 3 offers a cinematic experience rich in action and tension. With a strong cast, proven direction and the promise of memorable confrontations, the film is positioned to be a landmark release of the year. Fans of the series and new viewers alike are likely to find much to enjoy in McCall's latest adventure, which combines the fight against injustice with the personal dilemmas of a tortured hero.
Our verdict on Equalizer 3:
Equalizer 3, brilliantly directed, transports its audience to the heart of picturesque Sicily, prey to the clutches of the Italian mafia. Denzel Washington returns in force as Robert McCall, a surgically precise vigilante, and is joined by Dakota Fanning, whose presence adds new depth to the film.
The beautifully shot Sicilian landscapes are curiously reminiscent of the world of Disney Pixar's Luca cartoon, offering a surprising contrast between childlike innocence and the harsh reality of the mafia. This duality, accentuated by breathless scenes of confrontation between Robert and the local mafia, lends the film a palpable tension.
Denzel Washington is, as always, impeccable. He brings to Robert a gravity and determination that captivate the viewer. The action scenes, punctuated by the ticking of his watch, once again demonstrate his acute sense of timing and strategy.
But beyond the explosions and bloodshed, Equalizer 3 is a reflection on destiny and one's place in the world. Robert's recurring line, "exactly where he was meant to be", underlines this quest for meaning and justice in a chaotic world.
In conclusion, Equalizer 3 is a worthy addition to the saga, skilfully combining action and introspection. If you enjoyed the first two installments, this third opus will not disappoint. And a word of advice: if you have shadows in your past, avoid crossing paths with Robert McCall at all costs.
