I've watched a couple other reactions to this movie, but Kim was the first to say, "I'd poison their food." (referring to the corrupt cops). I laughed out loud. Kim is so sweet I was just surprised at her comment. 🙂
The Equalizer 2 is good as well but I personally can’t wait until you all react to Equalizer 3. Next level!!! Great movie!!!! Robert is so brutal in that movie that you will question if he’s the actual villain. Excellent conclusions of the series.
@@sheilaburns8977 I always saw it as whatever you put out into the world I am going to give back to you. It is just that he is giving it back all at once
There was a tv series on CBS called "The Equalizer" back in the 1980's which starred Edward Woodward - and like many action adventure shows of the time period, he was a former "special operative" with the government who struck out on his own to provide a service to people in need through a mysterious classified ad in the local papers. "Got a problem? Odds against you? Call the Equalizer" Most of the people he went up against were small time criminals or people who had never had anyone (of competent skill) go up against them... these criminals (bullies) relied upon fear and intimidation to push people around - sometimes they were outright criminals... sometimes corrupt people in power ... but McCall would not be intimidated and showed no fear. He acted with precision and violence in a way that the criminals were not used to... and saved the day. Sort of like many of the "operating above the law" type heroes of that era ... The Equalizer ... The A-Team ... various Private Detective/Private Eye type heroes on TV at the time. Denzel's character took some of those elements and also wrote in some OCD compulsions ... and made three films in this series. Queen Latifah has been cast in a re-boot of the tv show still currently on the air on CBS / Paramount+ (as of April 2024)
Robert McCall in this version is a former MARSOC (Marine Special Operations) turned ISA (that is like CIA Special Operators) who faked his death to leave that life behind to honor his wife's dying wish. When your body is stressed, it goes into flight or fight mode. high levels of cortisol and adrenaline are released into the blood stream causing you to perceive time as slowing down. This is really your brain processing sensory input faster. With the right training and experience you cannot just react faster but think in a controlled manner. This is what the camera is trying to explain quickly. Honey has antimicrobial healing properties and has been used for thousands of years for healing.
Great reaction ladies!! His background and Susan were DIA. His skills is: DIA or Defense Intelligence Agency Spy, Hitman/Assassin, and Black Ops Operative (formerly). United States Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant (formerly). Skills: Military training, high intelligence, expert marksman, expert martial artist, high pain tolerance, expertise in weaponry, master tactician, knife mastery, explosive mastery, multilingualism
Hey ladies. Late comment. Classic TV series becoming films or film franchises and actually being successful is a rarity. One is Mission:Impossible and the other is The Equalizer. One individual to even up the odds for the innocent. Bringing the pain to the bad guys that deserve it. I loved the classic tv series (1985-1989) since childhood with the late Golden Globe winner, Edward Woodward. It was revamped into a new original series with Queen Latifah as Robyn McCall/co-producer (since 2021, 3 seasons). To have this great actor/filmmaker collaboration make something like this is very rare. Denzel as McCall/co-producer and Antoine Fuqua directing didn't try to copy the show, beat for beat (except for the last shot). I saw it in the IMAX format and it became Denzel's highest grossing film ever until it's sequel outgrossed it, 4 years later.
The original Equalizer is from the 80s and it was awesome, it took place here in America but Robert McCall was played by an English actor, Edward Woodward who was outstanding, try watching some episodes of that!!!!!!!
First time I saw the movie, and Robert opened the door, I thought he was going to leave, and I'm like, "OK" then he closed the door, opened the door closed the door and I was already counting. I called 18 seconds I think it was 23, he's getting as old as me. He had the plan when he came in, the door, is disconcerting, whether it's OCD or not, doesn't matter, he got everyone in the room anxious and that matters. An anxious enemy is a better enemy than a relaxed enemy. And he already knew they were enemies. If a Russian laughs at you, he's your enemy.
2 and 3 are great as well. Nice reaction. I recommend getting the DVD for some behind the scenes extras and what Chloe Moretz did to get ready for the role.
You will all probably love the next two movies (Equalizer 2 and 3). I watched the original series starring Edward Woodward back in the '80s. As much as I liked that show, I absolutely love Denzel's take on the character. Even though the action is great, it's his philosophy and his personality traits that really make his character so compelling. I really hope you will end up watching the next two movies. Great reaction!
Timing yourself in everything is a manner to have a memory of how long it takes to do things so that can be used when calculating variables quickly. It can simply be described as discipline.
Just saw this movie recently and i cant believe i had never seen it. such a good movie (as almost all Denzel movies are). Then i watched 2 and it was good too. Still need to check out 3.
Hi Cajun! Thanks for your advice! I had to alter the movie audio in order for our video not be blocked. Normal audio blocks the video and the movie company rejects any dispute. I'm always trying new audio filters to see what works best though! Copyright on RUclips is tough!
When you spend the great majority of your adult life in military or intelligence service then it ends, you wish to rejoin the normal of humanity but aren't really sure it is possible, especially if you feel that you must continue to help humanity and atone for all the things you have done that turned out to be a misuse of your talents for crooked politicians. This story makes it seem like a gift from God to find the wish and feel like you belong there with someone capable to take over helping people.
McCall is nothing like Wick. Wick history is an assassin for the Mafia. Not a good guy. He only does things that are seen as good that serves his interest. McCall without reward looks for people to help that do not have the ability to help themselves. He asked the villains before any acts of violence, to submit, to give back what was taken from the weak. These characters are total opposites. And I hate the comparisons.
Hi Bruce! Thank you for clearing this up for us! This makes sense! Thanks for sharing! I will pass what you said to Mom and Kim! Thanks for watching with us!

TMI. Not a specific spoiler, but just too much info. Also, I never questioned Robert's character. Never a villain!!

This is a great film that is based on the 1980's tv show of the same name that starred Edward Woodward as Robert McCall.
ok boomer no one cares
@@Nightrunnergunner You do, or you wouldn't of commented.
There's a recent reboot show starring Queen Latifah as Robyn McCall
@Nightrunnergunner No balls 😂
"Got a problem? Odds against you? Call the Equalizer" the moto from the original 1980s cult classic tv show.

Nope, CIA OP, like the original..
I was so looking foward to this,thanks ladies

3 ladies and a gentleman, oh and me. I'm up for it. The Equalizer is a gentleman.

there is 3 of these movies! you need to watch all 3 in order and pay attention to every detail or you will miss stuff.
Bob is reading the room and has a plan before man leaves, and tells the lady, "it's ok" I got you.
I like the mullit in the middle!

Ralphie was always going to take the chips off the tuna salad, I was not worried for him. That's humor.
2 and 3 are great as well. Nice reaction. I recommend getting the DVD for some behind the scenes extras and what Chloe Moretz did to get ready for the role.
I think mom had at least 10 "son of a b's" :-) . Love you guys reactions
Love how everybody gets excited to find out Hopper (David Harbour) was in this😅
"Dead Like Me" the drill thing, one of the angels did the drill to the head to get high. Well, dude a Reaper now.
Great saint nick too. And I thought he was going to die.
You know... to me Robert McCall is the best of Infantry Spec Ops.
You REALLY need to watch the second one now!! Ohhhh yeah!
Great reaction / review ladies.
As we say in Texas; y'all be safe. That's for EVERYONE
Now, Equalizer 2.
There are two more movies, but the old Equalizer series tells some things.
I called Eli blind was blind right away, I have experience with blind people who have great situational awareness. Greater than the sighted.
You will all probably love the next two movies (Equalizer 2 and 3). I watched the original series starring Edward Woodward back in the '80s.

Yes, a good reaction 😁👍🏻,hoping you guys will react to Equalizer 2 and Equalizer 3
I loved your reaction to this movie and your emotional content.
Timing yourself in everything is a manner to have a memory of how long it takes to do things so that can be used when calculating variables quickly. It can simply be described as discipline.
Please please please watch Unstoppable!! Denzel and Chris Pine!!
"Home Mart" we wipe the hammers for you!
All the equalizers are good but i forgot how go* da*n brutal the bad guy is in the 1st one 😂 jesus
You should react to a TV series called "A Discovery of Witches" if you haven't already seen it.
"Home Mart" we wipe the tools for you.
Neither John Wick nor Daredevil clean the hammer when they're done getting a gal's wedding ring back, for that matter doubt theyd care about a ring.
Hardware assault Depo.🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just saw this movie recently and i cant believe i had never seen it. such a good movie (as almost all Denzel movies are). Then i watched 2 and it was good too. Still need to check out 3.
Great reaction. When December rolls around, watch David Harbour in Violent Night.
Equalizer 2 and 3 please
Pretty sure the head of the beast died inthe shower.
刺激強過ぎるて笑
Ladies, please fix the sound quality on this reaction. Thank you.

There is violence in this movie, Ladies.

@@StormAkimaReBoot Hi Ladies 😘
Yea.
Some try to compare.
Both are good characters.
But very different.
Similar bada**es.
Also some forget The Equalizer was way before John Wick.
He has OCD
He was 8n seconds off in the first scene wasn't he?
If you have to be OCD you should maximize the profit of the well I'm anal retentive, Infantry. Put your faults to work for you.
I tried to watch but the sound quality of the movie was terrible and difficult to hear.
Sucks being a good man.
It all went to shit when dude didn't take the money...
Dont show a film like that to the pretty older lady,show her some Disney movies,she deserve to laugh,not being scared,she is so sweet.. :-)
CIA gals' husband wasn't obvious enough?
Little people need help sometimes.
React, The Rocketeer ( 1991 ). The Cable Guy ( 1996 ). Bahubali 1-2 ( 2015-2017 ). The Crow ( 1994 ).
The sound of the movie being reacted to is too hard to understand.
Equalizer 2 is not nearly as good, but Equalizer 3 is fantastic. A terrific ending to the series.
I understand it might be to avoid copyright problems but this audio is horrible. Unlistenable. Sorry. Moving on.
It would be nice if someone worked for the people, but we have no heroes and the blah blah blah.
