Lola B @Lbelle77 1 day ago Great action packed film with great plot! Very much a Denzel fan…did not disappoint! See more Carol S @Carol92592 Oct 18, 2026 Awesome and action packed with great character development. See more Benjamin G @BxDxGx Oct 12, 2026 Of all the "take justice in your own hands" type of films, this series tends to stand out amongst the others such as Liam Neeson, Jason Statham, or Reacher movies that fall within this type of genre. Not only is the film directed and polished well with some profound lines inside a decent script, there’s a greater sense of humility that it seems only Denzel could execute so well. Denzel has always stood out as a gifted actor but his delivery is genuinely exemplary on "giving to others without expecting anything back" and "with great power comes great responsibility" type of morality that is less flashy than other iterations. By the end of the film, viewers ought to ask "how can I become a better person and give back" which overall is a positive message that ought to be perpetuated in film. See more Moody C @MoodyC Sep 21, 2026 This is the best of series (so far) however all the movies suffer from a weak climatic ending & only this one has a somewhat better climatic fight at, of all places, a home depot like store. It's no Home Alone with clever traps but it is still more entertaining than final battles of 2 & 3 sequels. Character is somewhat like John Wick character who is virtually an unbeatable, killing machine but these movies are better because they always rescue some lost characters & try to help them find their ways in life so not just mindless shooting like John Wick movies. Maccall is always a model citizen ala Superman but unlike Supes, is not afraid to kill in brutal ways for those who deserve it which is more realistic & satisfying than those Superman or Batman movies.

I love this; it mixes slow-burn character building with satisfying justice. What Worked: • Denzel brings a quiet, intense calm that honestly makes him magnetic. • The diner scenes with Moretz have surprisingly genuine emotional weight. • The final hardware store showdown using random tools is ridiculously fun. The Friction: • The Russian mob villains feel one-dimensional and cartoonishly evil. • The runtime gets bloated, and the middle part really dragged for me. • It gets a bit too invincible-superhero at the end, losing some gritty realism. Verdict: I love this. Watch for a satisfying, slow-burn thriller. Skip if invincible heroes annoy you.

The story never gets boring and I will continue to watch the three of them over and over as I really enjoy each of them. See more Read all reviews
