Being an avid Equalizer trilogy fan, I was full of enjoyment at the thought of watching the latest in the McCall experience, however this was short lived.
Sadly for Denzel and cast, the storyline was utterly appalling, super simple, predicatble and full of holes.
Denzel plays his part well but extremely restricted by the story line and what I feel was a low budget.
It is not a patch on the previous two movies. The previous two were a different league.
I am utterly gobsmacked at the higher scoring reviews but each to their own.
All in all, it was a poor movie that I cannot recommend nor would I watch again.

Having been an avid fan of Silent Witness of many years, from Series 25, I feel it has went downhill and have been left disappointed.
Its script writing and ability to deliver the story in a well acted and realistic way has always been very good.....until now.
I feel that now the main issue is the script writing followed by poorer acting and quite unrealistic scenes and generally poor story telling.
This was confirmed by watching Series 26. It fails to transition between series 25 and and 26 in terms of staffing/new members of the team and the relationship between Nikki and Jack.
Also the series 26 episode 1 & 2 story is relatively good on paper but very poorly delivered and acted out.
Many key omissions from realism and blatant holes in the story.
I question whether I would continue to watch it.
