Best of the franchise. Killer opening sequence, gorgeous Italian locations, compact runtime and a satisfying conclusion delivered almost everything I could have wanted for this installment. I think it could have used 1-3 more brief action sequences (maybe 9 seconds each). There’s a definitely a lull in action after the opening sequence. Still, I really liked McCall’s arc. He’s hoping to settle down and wrestling with whether he’s a good man or a bad man. It’s cool to see Denzel and Dakota work together again, 20 years after Man on Fire. My goodness, Dakota was practically a baby in that film. They don’t get a ton of screentime together here, but it works well for the story. Had a really really good time with the family at this. Pretty full theater too, for a Sunday afternoon.
