Get Outta da House Cinema 2023 - The Equalizer 3

The Equalizer 3 lands several months after the television ironically concluded its third season. However in place of Queen Latifah we get Denzel Washington as the title role, The Equalizer. We did however get to see RnB Friday's star Kelly Rowland in the TV version! The version I am talking about is the second TV series, the first, from 1985-1989 is which this film series is loosely based on. the television series of the same name

The film version however sees Dakota Fanning, David Denman, Sonia Ammar, and Remo Girone star alongside Washington.

Directed by Antoine Fuqua, this is a sequel to The Equalizer 2, while potentially becoming the final instalment of The Equalizer film series.

Washington, reprises his role as retired U.S. Marine and DIA officer Robert McCall. In the third film, McCall discovers that his new friends of a small town in south Italy are intimidated by members of the Camorra, after which he sets out to free them from their control.

Filming locations were lush, in the  Amalfi Coast in Italy, followed by Naples, before wrapping production by January, in Rome. 

The Equalizer 3 looks a million bucks with some big, gory action scenes. It has a decent plot which sort of reminds me of Mafia Mamma from earlier this year.


Now I was very kind to that film giving it a glowing 4 stars. However I feel like being a little tougher. The films are of a high standard right now. We have The Nun 2 coming out, another murder mystery with, A Haunting in Venice and in similar action vein, EXPEND4BLES.

For now The Equalizer 3 will have slightly limited sessions in, its second week due to the dream box office run Barbie is continuing to have.

So if you want to catch the action film, Get Outta da House NOW!

How many stars you ask? Let's go with 3 for this shot, stab em, punch em up picture.
