The Equalizer 3 Film Trailer Review
So what is there to say about the The Equalizer 3 trailer? This feels to me is peak male entertainment power fantasy which is not bad (and never will be). A tried and tested formula of a mysterious stoic protagonist with a shady past living a good life in retirement, but is suddenly forced out of it when face with inevitable and overwhelming circumstances that calls for his certain level of expertise from the very same shady background he wants to forget or has moved on. Some that I can think of that made huge waves in theaters are RED, Taken, Nobody, and John Wick. The Equalizer 3, being the third and last of its film franchise, looks to be no different. A high octane action film featuring one of Hollywood's top actor, Denzel Washington.
I don't know if it's the movies fault or me having poor memory, but I can barely recall what happened to the first two titles in The Equalizer's film franchise. So I have to do my homework. The first Equalizer came out back in 2014 (The Equalizer), mainly twenty five years after the CBS spy series ended; and the second film, The Equalizer 2, came out in 2018, four years after the first. I would probably watch the first two films again to get a refresher. Personally, even without context of the first two, I think anyone can easily pick up this film as the trailer has been well done and is more than enough to build hype to hod bad ass Robert McCall's character is. If you are a fan of action and spy films in general, this is an easy recommend.
