"I was so excited by the news of this incredible release and restoration. Every moment is beautiful—as, of course, is the soundtrack by Ravi Shankar. Some scenes even seem to be able to penetrate the boundary of your own personal memory. Electrifying but peaceful. Throughout the entire trilogy, everything is leaving Apu behind, but the final scene shows all currents flooding home to him."

"How could so profoundly sensitive a writer of beautiful English have been such an apparently shallow, even unpleasant, man? Whatever the answer, I re-read Waugh’s books again and again, mesmerized by the chiseled craftsmanship of every sentence. I could have chosen any of his books, but the Sword of Honor trilogy, an affectionately comic portrayal of the bungling chaos of military life, is perhaps my favorite."

The finale of the "original" Star Wars epic trilogy did everything that a finale should aspire to do. It closed gaps, it gave finality to many sub story lines, and it even introduced some new characters that it took the time to develop and make the viewer care about.

Please watch this if you haven't. It should probably be required viewing before leaving high school.

A fitting end
A decent end to the Equalizer trilogy set mainly in a small Italian town. More violent and brutal, bloody than the first two films. Quite funny in places as well. You know what to expect and it doesn't fail to deliver. The finale was a bit quicker than expected but otherwise an enjoyable film.

Not That Scary (0 more)
If you’re looking for a film that’s really scary then this probably isn’t for you. Otherwise, if you’re looking for a real strong and well acted character study that stands on its own amidst the trilogy it resides, this movie is worth it.
