Egy megállíthatatlan, legyőzhetetlen, az erőszak minden formájában otthonosan mozgó profi: Robert McCall (Denzel Washington). Már régóta nem a kormánynak dolgozik. A nyugdíjasok csendes életét éli, de folyamatosan gyötri a lelkiismeret-furdalás. Utólag úgy látja, hogy szörnyű dolgokat csinált, mert azt hitte, hogy a jó ügyet szolgálja. Csak egy módot talált rá, hogy enyhítse a gyötrő bűntudatot: megvédi az ártatlanokat. Bárkitől. Bármi áron. Megvannak hozzá a módszerei. Dél-Olaszországba költözött, és a helybeliek szeretettel fogadják - ő úgy érzi, végre hazaérkezett. De itt sincs béke: a kisváros, ami idilli lehetne, maga a pokol - a maffia fojtogatja. A védelmező itt érti meg, hogy számára nincs kiút: újra harcba kell szállnia azokért, akik gyengék, kiszolgáltatottak, ártatlanok. Egyedül van a maffiával szemben. És ő az ilyen helyzetekben érzi igazán otthon magát. (InterCom)

Kár, hogy kevesebb az akció, és leszámolás a főgonosz karakterrel csak formális. Denzel Washington karizmája és karakterének isteni stilizálása az igazság alfa-mecénásaként konfliktusban az olasz Camorra maffiával nagyobb és hosszabb mészárlást kínált volna, nagyobb létszámmal. Mert John Wick elkényeztetett minket... A Védelmező 3. című film ennek ellenére csendesebb részekben is szórakoztat szuper karakterekkel, olaszos hangulattal és főleg fokozódó feszültséggel a brutális helyi alvilág és kemény amerikai hős közelgő összecsapásában. Az epilógus pedig feleslegesen patetikus (Olaszország) és naiv (San Francisco).

It doesn't beat the originality and the villain of the first one, but it does beat the sterile and uninspired second one. The Equalizer thankfully didn't end up like, say, Taken, and with the third film, the duo Washington-Fuqua made a worthy finale, or let McCall age with honor and in the beautiful Amalfi setting. Last Chapter is surprisingly less action-packed than the previous installments and shapes the mix of the fragile family atmosphere of a small town that has its own specific spiritual charge vs. extreme violence and gore quite adequately, something Fuqua is unafraid of and knows how to handle pretty well. Nothing beats the opening scene, and no other passage even comes close, but as a whole the third Equalizer is watchable. Denzel is no longer an invincible killer, but a vulnerable older man, plagued by the demons of his past, and every now and then he kicks someone's ass and does what's right along the way through life. Exactly between 3-4.

A former hitman is enjoying his retirement in Sicily, but his idyll is shattered by a gang of mobsters who are taking money from the locals, so he decides to take matters into his own hands. I'd love so badly to enthusiastically say that it's been a brutal carnage and an action-packed ride ever since, but sadly it's not, and hence my relatively painful disappointment. The opening is perfect, the Sicilian setting is familiar and the locations are knockout, Antoine Fuqua already has something of a handle on the craft and Denzel Washington needs no mention. The guy was probably born to play this role, his acting chops and charisma make his character one of the most memorable movie assassins ever and when it comes down to it, there's a hell of a lot of fear and respect that can't be said for many of today's characters. So what's the problem? Well, the fact that the killing and stabbing are awesome, but unfortunately it only happens twice in the entire film. Once in the town, where I was soaked wet with joy, fear and suspense, and then in the finale, which doesn't compare to the warehouse or the town from previous installments and is a very weak concoction by comparison. In short, it's as if they were banking more on the location and Denzel's toothpaste commercial smile than the hard, bloody action we all went to see the film for. As it is, it's unfortunately very disappointing and summing up five minutes of action with a lackluster conclusion just isn't enough for me. If they had tightened up, I wouldn't be afraid to give it a full five stars, as technically the film is on a very high level indeed. A painful shame...

Antoine Fuqua and Denzel Washington, and a great conclusion to a successful trilogy. The third part is not better than the first, but it surpasses the sequel and for me it is another great job on my favorite theme. Fuqua is right at home in this revenge mode, and while it's not a frantic action ride in the vein of John Wick and Extraction, it doesn't matter as The Equalizer benefits from a great main character, an attractive setting and compelling dialogue, making the film stand out above other revenge action genre flicks. Washington has charisma to spare, and the way he can play a likeable guy one moment and a cold and uncompromising assassin with a stare that gives you chills the next is amazing. This time we look at a quaint Italian town where Denzel is injured and getting used to the quiet idyllic life of the friendly locals, but the town is terrorized by the local Mafia and Denzel will have to take the law into his own hands. The film keeps a leisurely pace, but thanks to a great setting, likeable characters and engaging dialogue, it never gets boring and when it comes to the action, it's pleasantly brutal with effective kills. The best part is quite possibly the opening itself, which is very nicely brutal. I also enjoyed the two Italian brothers-villains, who got what they deserved. However, I was a bit disappointed with the finale itself, which felt rather rushed and the showdown with the bad guy wasn't as satisfying as the finale from the first film, but I can get over that. It's still quality entertainment that I enjoyed for 2 hours. PS: that jump-scare in the explosion with the cars was lethal!

Roberto McCall and his Sicilian mishaps with cups of tea and filleting Camorra. When he sizes up his targets, whose eyes will soon cloud over and gills lose their pinkness, he fully embodies the nobility of his character. He only gets out of breath when climbing the stairs to the church! Man on Fire 4 is driven primarily by him, even as he navigates obstacles such as a clumsy script, directorial mannerisms (the scene in the square with the crowd in resistance, reminiscent of Training Day, was somewhat painful), and the Dakota Fanning casting error. I consider the frequent use of darkness and cutting to conceal the action a positive for the aging Denzel. At least this way, he maintains the aura of a killer who can time the demise of his enemies with precision.
