To tell you the truth I was disappointed with the 3rd film.
It was much slower and the fight scenes were the same as in the first two films (lone man kills the bad guys in a house).
The story line of the head bad guy was all wrong. In the criminal world it's all about respect and how people see you. The Equalizer had publicly challenged him in the village square - there's NO WAY the bad guy was going to let that go. He wouldn't have gone to bed; he would have gone home, called in ALL his guys immediately, armed them up and set out on a war path...not go to bed 😆
A better scene would have been the whole town fighting with the Equalizer.
Yes, they should have left the film at number two.
