Some films are worth seeing in the cinema more than once. I went to see "The
Equalizer 3" a week ago, and it fascinated me. Robert McCall is so different
to John Wick. He doesn't rush into a battle with his guns blazing. It's not a
bullet ballet. Robert McCall times his action fastidiously. He's always
looking at his watch, whether it's nine seconds or six minutes. He's a man of
habit, habits that could be called an obsessive compulsive disorder. When he
sits in a cafe he spreads two napkins on the table before he begins to drink.
The film ends with him settling in Altamonte, a small town on the Italian
coast. He's just passing through, but he likes the place so much that
he doesn't want to leave. Is it that easy? Doesn't he need a visa or a
residency permit? I don't know what the laws in Italy are, so I shan't argue
about it.
"The Equalizer 3" is a film that will find its way into my Blu-ray
collection.
