The Equalizer 3 (2023)
Anticlimactic vigilantism. Good story but slow
I think it is pretty good considering Denzel is almost 70 years old. I settled down with lowered expectations and enjoy this as it is. Overall a good cap to the trilogy, an anticlimactic one but not too bad.
I wish the villains' characters are more developed and more complex instead of just a bunch of small town mafiosos with ambitions terrorizing the townsfolks. I feel the ending could've been a bit more action packed.
My only gripe is the outdated glorification of USA governmental agencies, in this case, the CIA, saving the world. In this day and age, it feels more like propaganda than anything else.
Clean (2021)
Could have been better
The cinematography is very good at times. Acting is quite solid. The writing and directing sucks.
This movie can be so good if it was written and directed by people that are good with revenge movies. The main character is interesting and has a lot of potential. But, instead, he seems to be stuck in a loop of reminiscing the past and a constant repetition of how he is trying to emotional heal by helping his neighbourhood. We got it in the first few minutes of the movie. The main antagonist's character is just a byproduct despite the climax of the movie is about the confrontation between Clean and the antagonist.
A waste of time. Just forward to the middle to watch a bit and then forward to the end for the finale.
Settlers (2021)
