“You seem like a man who understands violence…”
That’s at least one line that sticks out in the brand new trailer for Sony Pictures’ The Equalizer 3 starring Denzel Washington and fellow Man On Fire cohort Dakota Fanning and based the hit classic TV series. Antoine Fuqua directs this the third and final installment from a script by returning scribe Richard Wenk with a Fall release set for September in theaters.
Also, mind you, mind your surroundings as well when you watch the trailer as it’s very much in red-band territory. It’s Washington in one of the finest and most memorable, and quite possibly one of the most violent and brutal roles of his career, and three films in after other meaty action roles in recent history including in Safe House and The Book Of Eli, he’s lived up to some mighty expectations. Enjoy!
Since giving up his life as a government assassin, Robert McCall (Denzel Washington) has struggled to reconcile the horrific things he’s done in the past and finds a strange solace in serving justice on behalf of the oppressed. Finding himself surprisingly at home in Southern Italy, he discovers his new friends are under the control of local crime bosses. As events turn deadly, McCall knows what he has to do: become his friends’ protector by taking on the mafia.
