Granted in the overwhelming majority of action movies the hero gets all the bad days and lives happily etc. However, there can at least be a little, unlikely bit of jeopardy if they're not superhuman-like Robert McCall. If you've seen the previous movies you know what you're getting into here, but either way the fiona demonstrates his omnipotence at the very start. Opening on the carnage of some dozen henchman he's just killed before he disposes of the last few from a chair with guns pointed right at him; all in a matter of precisely timed seconds. This guy obviously has nothing to worry about with the small town goons he deals with the rest if the movie. The action is hard hitting though far fetched and just because it uses a lot of blood doesnt make it realistic. Pretty much everything about only works if you think about it as little as these filmmakers did. The lulls in between the action, perhaps to flesh the movie out, only serve as a halt. And this movie adds all the usual trivialities to increase our care but as always, ultimately the only reason we're interested is Denzel Washington.
