I was a huge fan of The Equalizer 1, and I think they should have stopped there. This 3rd instalment lacked any real story, plot or character development. And what was there, was very predictable.

And even if you say 'well, action is my thing', even that was a little light on to be able to carry the film. Not too bad for an easy mind-numbing watch if you're not feeling up to investing much brown peer into a movie, but it certainly left me disappointed.

Do yourself a favour and, instead of watching this, go back and rewatch the first one. It's been 10 years since it was made, so it might seem like a new experience.

A sign of a good show is when you want to keep playing the next episode and you sneak bits in on the phone whoever the opportunity arises. All the people complaining about son don't get it. Is he an annoying dweeb? Absolutely. But that's the intention - it requires Cranston in his role to have to take on all the thinking and all the doing, to keep them both safe. If the son was a well put together, articulate, athletic, affable character, it wouldn't have near the same impact. It adds to the desperation and frustration of Cranston trying with all his will to stay one step ahead of the bad guys.

I'm all for a good action flick, but the acting in this is woeful to the point I felt embarrassed for the actors. All good scenes shown in the movie trailer. Rest is boring.
