I cannot state how excited I am for this movie. This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it. -Rear Admiral (Lower Half) Joshua Painter Played by Senator Fred Thompson | ||

Equalizer 2 struggled a bit, IMO, when compared to the first one. And I'd watch Man on Fire two or three more times, before I rewatch an Equalizer. Not really in the same class, IMO. The Equalizers are undoubtedly fun; MoF kind of isn't, and that's where it has an edge. If I was to draw a comparison with the same director and star, I'd say Training Day is far more comparable to Man on Fire. I will concede that Tony Scott's directorial style is likely somewhat divisive though, when compared to Fuqua's less unique approach. | |||

I see what your saying but I was mostly referring to the setting and Dakota being in this one. EQ1 was better than EQ2. Also, I love the story telling of the Equalizer movies a lot more than the John Wick movies. I am definitely looking forward to this one. This business will get out of control.

Denzel always plays a good role. This movie looks interesting. | |||

| Thank you Very little  |
Were they using Volare as a song? The same song used to sell the 70's Plymouth LOL... Looks interesting, guess he didn't retire to his home on the Mass Shores.... | |||

The scene with the Italian song "Volare" takes place in Italy. Actually it appears that the whole movie takes place in Italy and he's going against the mob so... Volare! | |||

Looking forward to it. Hard to think of a movie starring Denzel Washington that isn’t worth the price of admission. | |||

I do wonder about these things. When every camera shot, lighting etc. is controlled to create a thing. I do not believe in coincidences. The Book, Man on Fire, takes place in Italy, and deals with the mob. Meh, probably not a connection. This business will get out of control.

I sure enjoyed The Replacement Killers when it came out though.  “The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false-face for the urge to rule it.”—H.L. Mencken | |||

The original Man on Fire movie [1987], with Scott Glenn as Creasy, was also based in Italy. Not nearly as good as Denzel's Creasy, though. When in doubt, mumble | |||

That is not one I have seen. I have seen a greater percentage of Tony Scott's filmography, than Fuqua's; I haven't seen Bait, The Replacement Killers, or anything Fuqua made after 2018. I have seen all of Scott's major releases, with the exception of Beverly Hills Cop II, and anything pre-dating Top Gun. I certainly didn't mean that Scott's style is preferred to Fuqua's; I actually find Scott's style to be a bit annoying at times. Scott got a little weird with his editing choices sometimes, where Fuqua is perhaps more "traditional"; that's not to say traditional<weird. | |||

I’ve enjoyed Denzel in both installments. I was a big fan of the original series when it ran years ago. I couldn’t help but laugh when the remake came out - really!

Cant wait to see EQ3! I loved both 1 & 2 for what they were, "walk softy and carry mad skillz for killing!!". The only weak spot in any of these was in EQ1 when he asks "is that a Heckler cock?" But still a great movie!! | |||

It was really REALLY good! Crazy cool ‘Easter egg’ towards the end. As I think about it, it probably is not an “Easter egg” but I don’t know a better term; you’ll know it when you see it. ___________________________ All it takes...is all you got. ____________________________ For those who have fought for it, Freedom has a flavor the protected will never know ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||

Yes, we thought the movie was really good, too. As expected, a very despicable villain and henchmen. Much better than EQ2. Also caught the Easter egg moment. | |||
