They lack the fast-paced, adrenaline-pumping, car chases, jumping off buildings, mountains, and air-planes of typical action films. They are slow paced yet not boring or sluggish. As a matter of fact, their plots keep you hooked from start to finish. This 3rd instalment lives up to that as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The script is tight &#8211; one that you follow with keenness, scene after scene. Denzel Washington is in his element here, his age notwithstanding (he is 68 years old now). I was not left feeling like there was a deterioration in the acting quality from him. For a movie that is not the typical action film, two hours passed quickly while watching it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dakota Fanning and the other supporting cast gave a good report of themselves as well. There is little to complain about the cinematography, costuming or anything else, resulting in <strong>The Equalizer 3<\/strong> being an outstanding movie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And there is a scene that everyone must not miss. That scene in the town square where the bad guys came looking to exact revenge&#8230;. That is a scene you do not want to miss. It left me with breathless exhilaration. I will watch that scene again and again. Actually, I am likely to watch <strong>The Equalizer 3<\/strong> more than once.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, I am no doctor, but in <strong>The Equalizer<\/strong> movies, Robert McCall is clearly autistic; right? That is the only logical explanation for his mannerisms &#8211; always meticulously arranging serviette papers and cutler. And that would also explain his uncanny ability as a predator who walks into the lair of evil doers to wreck havoc unstopped. I wanted to call it as OCD, but I am going with autism. If you are a medical professional, chime in with your thoughts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are wondering whether to go see <strong>The Equalizer 3<\/strong>, wonder no more. Go to see it. It is worth ever cent you pay for it and every minute you send on it.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"nolly-rated-score\">NollyRated Score<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Score: 5\/5<\/strong>&nbsp;(Outstanding Movie)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NollyRated uses a 5-level scoring system, as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Poor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sub Par<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Okay<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Great<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Outstanding<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Join Our Tribe on Twitter:&nbsp;<\/strong>For updates on new&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/nollyrated.com\/category\/movie-review\/\">Nollywood<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/nollyrated.com\/category\/hollywood-movie-reviews\/\">Hollywood movies<\/a>, reviews, cinema reviews, and Nigerian and American movie personalities, join our tribe on Twitter&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NollyRated\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@NollyRated<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Denzel Washington is in his element again here in The Equalizer 3, his age notwithstanding.
