The Equalizer 3 🍺🍺

Jerry's Beer Movie Rating system gives Equalizer 3

🍺🍺 Two Beers - Great movie, did not mind paying the premium at the theater. Two beers because you are paying the premium price at the theater.

Rotten Tomatoes summarizes the movie, "Since giving up his life as a government assassin, Robert McCall (Denzel Washington) has struggled to reconcile the horrific things he's done in the past and finds a strange solace in serving justice on behalf of the oppressed. Finding himself surprisingly at home in Southern Italy, he discovers his new friends are under the control of local crime bosses. As events turn deadly, McCall knows what he has to do: become his friends' protector by taking on the mafia."

IMDB summary is similar, "Robert McCall finds himself at home in Southern Italy but he discovers his friends are under the control of local crime bosses. As events turn deadly, McCall knows what he has to do: become his friends' protector by taking on the mafia."

Jerry's Review notes, "Always a Denzel Fan! Jerry agrees with the audience on this one. Great movie with some awesome beat the bad guys up scenes!"

Checked out IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes. Seems the audience and Jerry were aligned in their rating of the movie. The Tomatometer Critics and IMDB liked it also but not as much as the audience and Jerry. Jerry sticks to his guns and gives it a high rating at 2 Beers 🍺🍺!

Retribution (2023) 🍺🍺🍺🍺

Jerry's Beer Movie Rating system gives Retribution (2023)...

🍺🍺🍺🍺 Four Beers - Some moments to keep you watching but need four beers to stay in your seat for those moments when the movie drags.

IMDB summarizes the movie, "A bank executive receives a bomb threat while driving his children to school that his car will explode if they stop and get out."

Rotten Tomatoes Critics Consensus notes, "Retribution may prove mildly diverting for hardcore fans of films depicting Liam Neeson as a parent in peril, but in most respects, this thriller is strictly standard stuff."

Rotten Tomatoes Audience says, "Retribution's confined setting and divisive ending don't do it any favors, but if you've enjoyed Liam Neeson's other action movies, this one is suspenseful enough to make it worth a watch."

Jerry's Review notes, "Prefer the Old School Neeson, Not the New Neeson!"

Checked out IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes. Seems the audience tended to like it more than IMDB and Rotten Tomato. Jerry is agreeing with the IMDB's and Rotten Tomato's Critics. Bring back the Old School Neeson!
