The length of "The Equalizer 3" is about 1 hour and 49 minutes (109 minutes). This makes it the shortest installment in the Equalizer film series and one of the shorter major action films of recent years. There are versions noted around 1 hour 42 minutes without credits and the full version including credits running about 1 hour 49 minutes.
