The Equalizer 3 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) If it's not broke, then don't fix it. They haven't fixed it in 40 years, and they didn't fix it in this movie, either. Oct 3, 2023 Full Review The Equalizer 3 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Rafer Guzman Newsday “The Equalizer” films have always been junk; they’re based on a mid-1980s TV show that was no great shakes to begin with. What did Washington ever see in them? Rated: 1.5/4 Oct 3, 2023 Full Review The Equalizer 3 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Joey Shapiro Chicago Reader Denzel seems to be sleepwalking through every scene that doesn’t involve gouging and/or stabbing. Sep 8, 2023 Full Review The Equalizer 3 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Mike Massie Gone With The Twins This series didn’t need a “final” episode, but it’s nevertheless entertaining for what it is - and what it sets out to be. Rated: 6/10 Aug 25, 2024 Full Review The Equalizer 3 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Steve Crum Crum on Showbiz The production looks good with spot-on cinematography by Robert Richardson, and an effective heartbeat score by Marcelo Zarvos. Rated: B+ Jan 16, 2024 Full Review The Equalizer 3 | Rotten Tomatoes (6) John Serba Decider Bluntly put, it’s a snooze, and we’re left with the nagging feeling that it should be considerably more engaging, and make better use of its extraordinary star.
