Warning: there are flashing effects/colourful effects/drugs/disfigurement/shooting/stabbing/impaling/decapitation/torture/terrorism/animal cruelty/vehicles crashing/breaking/strangling/medical. I should give you a heads up; there is a consistent usage of small white subtitles, there is a different language being used, so firstly whomever came up with this small white text, I am being sarcastic when I say thanks for that because I am dyslexic and but I got the genuine idea, secondly how lazy was the individual that put in the subtitles not to use more than one colour on the text, to separate it from person to person on the screen at that time, I mean if you are going to use subtitles this often in your films you may as well make it larger and easier to read and finally because this text is white and small it sometimes gets lost on screen, so they don't even stand out hence why said larger and easier to read including separation from character to character, because when underneath you have a potential different colour that can cover it over so you miss words in the subtitles from time to time, so smart move there; Not!

Before I ride off into the sunset, I have just one more thing to do: in short; we get to bear witness to this very last thing that Robert McCall [Denzel Washington:] is a retired person with many unique skills from being a former US Marine two a former DIA Officer, basically you want a situation taking care of he is your man, he wants to retire in Italy where this film takes place, but before that he will cleanup and assist CIA Agent Emma Collins [Dakota Fanning:] with this drugs case, she is young but a very good agent.

The framework and pacing of this 109 minutes film is a slow build up to a quick ending. On reflection, this is a good but generic action completing trilogy film title, as in, it does very much paint by numbers what it is designed to do and that is complete the trilogy.

Action/Art: I mean the only action sequence which is something different to all of the other let's just call them aggressive action sequences is; where we have McCall recapping this sequence through his mind's eye, so in this small sequence we see everything from his perspective which this is a imaginative art as for a little sequence it has a lot of detail as it should have as it is coming directly from his mind's eye and don't worry if you have been watching this trilogy we still have McCall giving us this countdown of 9 seconds to decide on what the individual or individuals in question want to do next and yes we have some good scenery throughout this film of Italy [the person I watch some of these films with; pointed this out to me, which now she has pointed it out I concur with this individual.]

Character developments and performances: they are all reliably good versions of what they are meant to be and the performances reflect that.

This film receives: 6/10, this film is good; as in on these two points, if you are a fan of Denzel Washington and if you have watched the previous two instalments of this trilogy go and watch this film because of him and you may as well finish off the trilogy.
