Im one of those many who can't seem to find a decent action thriller nowadays and I was so skeptic going into this one especially after the total let down of Equaliser 2.. First part was excellent for me and will remain this way but part 3 doesn't fall too short behind infact some people could find it the best of all 3 subject to taste and different opinions but for whatever it is it got me writing a review on imdb which I very rarely do but I feel obliged doing so after really enjoying it in cinema and as I said the rarity of quality movies in this genre over probably the part 3 years as if Hollywood has gotten of all sudden brain dead with so many so called "blockbusters" flopping one after another in such a despicable way that has put off me off going to the theatre all togather.. This is one without giving anything away is a very well done well thought after movie that I believe could go in the classic books with the excellent choice of story, locations and overall directing which will make it standout to any serious viewer with proper taste... If anything you should take from brief comment it's to go and watch it without much expectation for too much expectation will always let you down!

I gave this movie 9 yet its more of an 8 especially in comparison to movies coming out in its genre nowadays... it surley is not a 6-7 I tell you that much.. Reason I rate it so highly is to improve it's overall rating and hope others understand this point and be more generous with the rating towards decent films for as I said there is hardly anything decent in this extremely important genre nowdays.

Don't know where to start really but to be brief I have been an avid fan of this franchise since it started and I noticed it reached it's climax with part 7 and fell of a cliff straight after as if it's destined to fade away with the passing away of my favourite character and actor in the franchise the late Paul Walker and I'm not saying that because his character went missing afterwards but the quality of movies and the lame story lines made afterwards including this one tells me something really big just went off as if the heart and sole of the franchise was taken away by divine intervention!!!

I was quiet hyped about this one from the commercials and thought there might be hope again to discover that nothing has really changed despite the star studded cast with some of the best action heros on the planet all present but without a proper story line and execution no matter what you do or say it just won't sail atleast for me as they should learn a thing or two from mission impossible and how Tom Cruise picking the right story lines that keeps even the highly intelligent viewer engaged and interested from start to finish and it falls onto the story line in the 1st and last last place workout it you have nothing!!!

5.7 for this iconic movie are you kidding me!! If it had Tatarantino's name or Olive Stone*s name it would've received the recognition it deserve.. This is a Cult classic written all over it from the surprise casting to the wicked original story line that actually has a proper structure keeps you guessing in owe till the final minutes on the edge of your seat.. To me the movie has both incredible style and substance and if I am to properly discuss it as a critic will take me way too long to explain the over seen genius this little gem of a movie has and me in its own funny genre its way uptop there with the very best ever made but that's a matter of taste I guess... The movie is different in every good way possible for me and yes its not an Oscar winner but if I'm running the Oscars movies look those won't go unnoticed!!
