This time Denzel Washington as Robert McCall roams the alleys of an Italian coastal town to hunt down villains. The members of the Camorra seem like caricatures and at the same time like embodiments of absolute evil. Opposite them in Antoine Fuqua's "The Equalizer 3 - The Last Chapter" are the supposedly good people who have to be protected from the Mafia. Manicheism is not the only problem with this film; what is particularly bad is how much the camera loves to bathe in the blood of the perpetrators. Ostentatiously, the film shows McCall torturing his adversaries. Wolfgang M. Schmitt explains why we are dealing with an evil film.
