"This is a good swan song," says Fuqua ahead of the nationwide release of "The Equalizer 3" on Friday.Stefano Montesi / Columbia PicturesIn his fifth collaboration with two-time Oscar-winning actor Denzel Washington, director Antoine Fuqua wants moviegoers to take in the scenery of Southern Italy and enjoy all that it has to offer — the food, the history and the people — before witnessing what he describes as Robert McCall’s “final masterpiece of violence and revenge.
“I think McCall is more of a common man,” Fuqua said. “He’s much more like your neighbor. He could be you; he could be me. He’s just sort of a regular guy. What he’s doing for others without fanfare or without recognition, he’s doing it because it’s the right thing to do.” Outside of “The Equalizer” movies, Fuqua and Washington have teamed up in the past to tell the story of a character who is shaped by violence.
“We both believe the wages of sin is death,” Fuqua said about himself and Washington, referencing a Bible verse that essentially means if you sin, you die.“‘The Equalizer’ is a very similar throughline, which is stepping up for people who need help,” Fuqua said.
