Washington and Fuqua make up for an underwhelming second entry by bringing their all to 'The Equalizer 3,' taking the series out on top.
The Equalizer is a depressingly dull action thriller told in the most wrongheaded way possible.
Despite it's generic qualities, which are numerous, The Mechanic maintains an appealing lack of moral rectitude throughout its running time. Jason Statham plays Arthur Bishop, a “mechanic”, which is code for assassin. He kills people for an unspecified evil corporate entity run by his mentor. The lack of specificity concerning his motivations is an asset to the film. It helps make the hackneyed direction by Simon West more palatable.
