The movie opens in a Sicilian winery, where we see dozens of bodies. This is followed by Robert McCall (Denzel Washington) killing even more people. In a rare miscalculation, he's injured as he leaves. He drives away, and eventually pulls over and passes out from shock. He's nursed back to health by a doctor in a small town on the Amalfi Coast.

I'm not sure where on the Amalfi Coast this was set, but the town is absolutely gorgeous. It's referred to as "Altamonte," but there's no such place on the Amalfi Coast. I suspect that tourism to that area has surged since the release of this movie - it's incredibly beautiful.

As McCall recovers, he falls in love with the place and its people. But all is not well: the Camorra (think "Mafia" and you'll be close enough) is trying to get its claws into the town. You'll be shocked to hear that McCall decides to become the town's defender.

There's not much more you need to know about the movie: it's very violent as Robert McCall does what he does - with gorgeous scenery and occasional mild ruminations on doing good deeds by killing people. This is - surprisingly, given that this is a threequel - the best reviewed of the "Equalizer" movies. And I'm inclined to agree. It's not that it breaks the bonds of the formula or anything, but it's prettier and a bit better constructed than its predecessors.
