Robert McCall (Denzel Washington) is injured on one of his equalising missions and is taken in by a doctor in a small, beautiful seaside town in Italy. As he recovers he grows to like the place and its people, but realises that the mafia are looking to expand operations there and are making life extremely unpleasant for the locals
More enjoyable than the second film, it is really rather good fun and not without some little tension watching brooding Washington stare at the thugs that come to town causing trouble, deciding exactly when he'll do what he does best. It certainly takes its time, allowing him to love the town more and more, but when they do press his buttons too much, inevitably it's all gets nicely messy. What helps here is that black and white hats are spot on for this type of thing with the townsfolk all very nice Cinema Paradiso types and the baddies unshaven, tattooed young sadistic shouty things all dressed in black with little sense. Good fun.
