Wife and I saw this in the theaters, when the hammer dropped on what was in Case's deposit box, there was one dude in the theater going: "Nah man, Captain Von Trapp dealing with Nazis?!" Howling. We were laughing our asses off.
One of the best and most underrated heist movies ever made, when you hear the opening monologue the second time and figure out what the title means, it hits you like a brick
Top tier Spike Lee film. Underrated film is 25th Hour with Edward Norton and an amazing supporting cast. One of the best monologues ever in there as well.
P.S. Panic Room is awesome! An underrated David Fincher movie, and only considered mid-tier because he has so many other exceptional films, but it’s really darn taut!
From what I remember, Denzel was offered the part of Dalton the Bank Robber but didn't like the idea of acting underneath a mask. Which is interesting because I think Clive Owen's best acting in the movie is while he's in his bank robber outfit with the scarf or whatever over his mouth and the sunglasses.
@@stsolomon618yes they are, and I couldn't be more excited, my favorite Kurosawa movie being remade by Spike Lee with Denzel in the Toshiro Mifune role, I am giving him the benefit of the doubt after Oldboy and can't wait!
Great Denzel Washington movies include A Soldier's Story, Glory, Philadelphia, Crimson Tide, Devil in a Blue Dress, The Bone Collector, Training Day, Deja Vu, Flight, and Fences.
Thanks for the great reaction! Panic Room is fantastic...hope to see a reaction to it soon. Another excellent and underrated Denzel movie is "Fallen" with John Goodman, Donald Sutherland and James Gandolfini.
This whole negotiating reminds me of the Movie "The Negotiator" with Kevin Spacy and Samuel Jackson. If you dont have already watched this, its a great Movie.
This movies references two heist movies from the 70s that you should watch: DOG DAY AFTERNOON (1975) and THE TAKING OF PELHAM ONE TWO THREE (1974, NOT the 2009 version). DOG DAY AFTERNOON was directed by Sidney Lumet (12 ANGRY MEN) and stars Al Pacino & John Cazale (Michael & Fredo Corleone). THE TAKING OF PELHAM ONE TWO THREE stars Walter Matthau and Robert Shaw.
Denzel recommendations: The Pelican Brief, The Hurricane, The Bone Collector, Out of Time, Malcolm X, Deja Vu, American Gangster, Training Day, Flight, The Book of Eli, Philadelphia
The construction worker who's ex wife is Albanian is Spike Lee's good friend. If you ever watch a Knicks game at the Garden they are usually there together.
Lived on Wall st at the time. Remember them shooting these scenes and even caught a glimpse of Denzel going from set to trailer. Always loved the flick
It's baffling how little of a cultural imprint this film has had, given it's quality. So few channels have reacted to it, I've been flabbergasted why. So fun! Edit: And the fact that La Casa de Papel (Money Heist) basically stole the concept full cloth for its setup just makes it that much more obvious that this is a formula for success.
My parents watched this rhis and they loved it, and it has a lot of crazy twists and turns throughout that will make you watch it again and again to figure out what really happened.
I know what happened, after seeing it once. He hid in the walls. He's the Inside Man..... 😅🤭 Idk, I thought this movie was kinda dumb and confusing. Bloated. With good acting, no doubt. Good setpieces, yes.... but why though? Because he COULD??? Come tf on.....😔🙈
Did anyone notice how sus the middle finger with the ring appeared in the frame and how it disappeared again? It's almost like it was CGI. Also, Peter Hammond, the guy who was beaten for hiding his cell, was one of the Greasers from Grease 2. I don't remember his real name.
I love the bits where Denzel asks the various interviewees 'so did you rob the place then?', they laugh nervously and then he asks again 'no but did you though?' and they look like they are going to faint from stress. He's so charismatic it's almost irritating. Edit: oh, and Chewitel is great here too, in a relatively early role.
One of my favorite heist movies I actually know someone who did an inside bank robbery. They worked there and knew the cameras were broken so when cash was brought in before it could be counted, they took the top layer of the stacks and rearranged it, and got away with it.
Spike Lee...master of the dolly shot. 21:00 - The shot on of Densel on the camera dolly with everyone else in the background was an amazing setup. A perfect way to introduce shock, anger, and being outside oneself. Incredibly under noticed in this movie, and I've never seen anyone else do something similar. Also if you notice at 3:02 Spike Lee also did some very great double dolly shots to get that background fade in.
@@user-dz6fy6qv2l yeah the floating dolly shots are amazing too. I just especially love that the camera is at a slight down angle and the footage purposely has other action on the background moving around him. The dolly upshot in Malcom X was also very powerful but much more etherical of a composition with the trees. Of course I guess no one else wants to be compared with Spike in these things so they don't try it. Also Harvey Keitel narrating along with the bike in Clockers was so great too.
“Devil in a blue dress,” “courage under fire,” “the siege,” “he got game,” “training day,” “the bone collector,” “the hurricane” are just a few of Denzel’s film that you’ll enjoy. His masterclass performance was “Malcolm X.”
Loved this watchalong with ya, I guess this means we're (hopefully) that much closer to Denzel's Deja Vu at some point. And speaking of Panic Room, more David Fincher the better :) especially Benjamin Button.
Samantha is definitely on point about Panic Room. I saw this at the movies and it was fantastic. There are multiple great performances and high level suspense.
You guys should definitely check out The Negotiator Super underrated film with Kevin Spacey, Samuel L. Jackson and a couple other faces you'll recognize :)
I look at it this way: Dalton *did* steal something, it just wasn't money. What he stole was Case's good name/reputation. And in many ways, since you can't put a price on that, the loss hits much harder.
Decades ago in the UK a friend brother built up a considerable collection of signs including street names from various cities and signs from public buildings, brass name plates etc. How he did it was simple. He owned a white van, a set of white overalls, a ladder and some tools and he simply drove up to his target and took it down. If asked he was told it was going for cleaning or replacement. Acting co0mpletely confidently and like it's his job he was never caught.
I always remember a guy walked in to curry’s in a hi viz jacket and a cupboard and took a load of tvs straight out the store in daylight People are indoctrinated to comply with hi viz jackets and authority figures
Miriam (the teller who refuses to strip down to her underwear, I believe) is played by the same actress who played one of the tellers in Dog Day Afternoon. If you ask me, I think she's involved. Two bank robberies? I guess it could be a coincidence...🤔
we've seen this several times, and Sam is right to watch it a second time to see it unfold in a different light. Great movie. check out a movie called The Fan with Robert DeNiro.
Great reaction! As usual! A Denzel film I must recommend: *Deja Vu* (2006) OTHER FILMS TO SEE: ● *Spy Game* (2001) with *Brad Pitt* and *Robert Redford.* ● *The Mexican* (2001), starring _Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts_ and _James Gandolfini._ ● *_The Fisher King_* (1991) Dir. by Terry Gilliam, with _Robin Williams_ & _Jeff Bridges._ ● *_Silverado_* (1985). A *fun* western with _Scott Glenn, Danny Glover, John Cleese, Kevin Costner, Jeff Goldblum,_ and more. Written and directed by *_Lawrence Kasdan,_* co-writer of the _Star Wars_ films _The Empire Strikes Back_ (1980), _Return of the Jedi_ (1983), and _The Force Awakens_ (2015). He also co-wrote _Raiders of the Lost Ark_ (1981). Be well! 🙋🏼♂️
This movie is awesome. One of the great 2000s movies. Particularly great to me is how Clive Owen goes toe to toe with Denzel (who at this time was probably one of the biggest and most popular movie stars). I don’t know many actors that could stare down DW and really match him face to face like that. Very awesome.
I hope y'all get to react to more Denzel and Spike Lee movies. Both are legendary as filmmakers in their own rights. What films they made on their own as well as together are very great watches. I notice you started your Denzel journey and i hope you guys continue your Spike Lee journey moving forward. Can't wait to see it.
It was "bin Laden's nephew", which is kinda hilarious if you know that apparently, mosta bin Laden's family are actually cool, and were ashamed of and disowned him (because of 9/11, al Qaeda, and his general extremism). You should check out comedian Russell Peters' set, Adventures in Saudi Arabia. (The movie *might've* been trying to refer to a guy everyone apparently thought was Osama bin Laden's nephew, but turned out to actually be his son, and one of the few of the bin Laden family who hadn't disowned his dad.)
Well you do know that bin laden worked for the cia he was trained and lived in USA and his family were in business with the bush family even after the attacks We all know he didn’t do it he was the patsy
I loved this film. I went to the theater to see this and it always hit me as one of Denzels top performances. This was back when hollywood employed WRITERS on merit and not activists. This film aside, not long now until Dune 2. Please guys, dont keep it for your channel. The first film was an EXPERIENCE in IMAX with that Dolby Atmos sound system. Reviews are out for Dune 2 and widely described as a masterpiece. I went to see the IMAX reun of the first film with a Dune 2 preview. The scene they showed, the CGI is photorealistic and it was earth shattering what I seen. Please team Schmidt, GO SEE DUNE 2 IN IMAX.. ITS AN EXPERIENCE!! DONT MISS THE OPPORTUNITY!!!
I didn't like Spike Lee's earlier work. It wasn't until Malcolm X with Denzel Washington and this movie that I was in. Please react to Malcolm X even if you don't get it in by black history month. Denzel's depiction of him is uncanny. And I often cite it as the best acting performance I've ever seen.
I first saw this on my first trip to Ireland - at a cinema on O'Connell Street in Central Dublin. It made an impression! Despite being overwhelmed by new experiences, the memory of this movie stuck with me.
The one flaw i see is that the police didnt show them asking why each person was in the bank. Usually people go to a particular bank as its near their home or work. Im curious how the robbers would explain why they were there
No, he wanted Arthur to go down...that's why when he got in tge car tgey asked why he left the ring...he said, don't worry, it's in good hands. He expected Frazier to hunt down the story.
You guys should do more spike Lee movies. A lot of his early work is different from this but you’ll probably notice similar technical aspects. He’s a fantastic director, writer, and actor.
The BBC or Netflix series with the same name is also reallly good David Tenant, Stanley Tucci are amazing in that show i highly recommend for anyone who hasnt seen this
If you're going to follow up a series of heist films with a heist film, you definitely chose the right one, the first watch is special but it stands up to repeated viewings and is great to show people that haven't seen it. Please do Training Day next time, so many great Denzel movies to go but I want that the most. 😸
denzel washington AND christopher plummer! how did I miss this one? also I need to make a note to self not to be going commando the next time I have to go into a bank
One of Spike's best (and most mainstream) film that shows the influence of the original Taking of Pelham 123 (the other being Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs). What I loved was you can look at each main character as either protagonist or antagonist. Some other cool stuff: the opening song is from Dil Se, a great and just as weird Bollywood film; the overhead shot of the cops setting up the the perimeter was like watching a spider web being built in time lapse; of course, the inside man is the Jewish diamond dealer. Fun and thoughtful film at the same time.
Another fantastic reaction to another great Denzel movie. A few more suggestions for Denzel movies not included within your playlist on the channel are… (1) John Q (2) The Bone Collector (3) Training Day (4) Deja Vu (5) The Taking of Pelham 123
This movie is so damn good! And as a lifelong New Yorker, this movie is hysterical. That Albanian scene is priceless!
So you saw how Denzel handled a hostage situation.
Now you can watch Sam Jackson giving it a go in The Negotiator.
Also a very good movie.
Bruce Willis in Hostage was another good one as well.
Wife and I saw this in the theaters, when the hammer dropped on what was in Case's deposit box, there was one dude in the theater going: "Nah man, Captain Von Trapp dealing with Nazis?!"
Howling. We were laughing our asses off.
LOL...I would have shouted something like... "That explains it...General Chang was a Nazi all along!" 😂
Always knew Von Trapp was foul😒
One of the best and most underrated heist movies ever made, when you hear the opening monologue the second time and figure out what the title means, it hits you like a brick
Top tier Spike Lee film. Underrated film is 25th Hour with Edward Norton and an amazing supporting cast. One of the best monologues ever in there as well.
Yes. Unfortunately, I can’t find one single reaction for 25th Hour and it’s a masterpiece. IYKYK.
The Dialogues and good Jokes makes this Movie a Stand-Out. Really underrated Script.
This was Russell Gerwitz's first script.
The Indian song (Chaiya Chaiya) has been a favorite of mine since 2006...
I'd love to see them react to the scene it belongs to. And the music is fantastic!
@@funnyml3356 the train! A great scene.
P.S. Panic Room is awesome! An underrated David Fincher movie, and only considered mid-tier because he has so many other exceptional films, but it’s really darn taut!
Great film.
Panic Room is an under-rated classic,bought the dvd 2 disc set from a Goodwill store for $ 1.00. Didn't think this movie would be that good.
From what I remember, Denzel was offered the part of Dalton the Bank Robber but didn't like the idea of acting underneath a mask. Which is interesting because I think Clive Owen's best acting in the movie is while he's in his bank robber outfit with the scarf or whatever over his mouth and the sunglasses.
Clive jus talked about this recently, he made sure that spike lee would show his face in the movie and didn't want to wear the mask the whole movie.
If Denzel had played Dalton, he would have insisted the robber get caught.
Quiet as kept, Denzel needs to show his face to make his roles work. That makes it easier to play the same character in every movie.
Samantha PANIC ROOM is a Masterpiece!
Definitely get him to watch it! :)
Yes, PLEASE!! 👍👍👍
100%
Yes
It's really good and very stylistic, but it relies too much on technical inaccuracies and lapses of logic to propagate the story
Loved when Sam asked what about the safety deposit box and she got a shrug!!!
This was Spike Lee and Denzel Washington fourth collaboration. Great film.
I wish they could make more magic together.
I didn’t know that. Thanks
@@DerEinzige21 they are, they are doing a remake of High and Low.
Oh snap. Spike Lee. Denzel. Kurosawa. Being done with A24? You have my interest. @@stsolomon618
@@stsolomon618yes they are, and I couldn't be more excited, my favorite Kurosawa movie being remade by Spike Lee with Denzel in the Toshiro Mifune role, I am giving him the benefit of the doubt after Oldboy and can't wait!
If you like this kind of movie, try The Negotiator (1998)!
Great movie!!
Great Denzel Washington movies include A Soldier's Story, Glory, Philadelphia, Crimson Tide, Devil in a Blue Dress, The Bone Collector, Training Day, Deja Vu, Flight, and Fences.
Thanks for the great reaction! Panic Room is fantastic...hope to see a reaction to it soon. Another excellent and underrated Denzel movie is "Fallen" with John Goodman, Donald Sutherland and James Gandolfini.
Yes!! Love that movie and nobody reacts to it.
yes and deja vu

THE TAKING OF PELHAM ONE TWO THREE stars Walter Matthau and Robert Shaw.
Also Denzel plays the Walter Matthau role in the 2009 remake.
Denzel recommendations: The Pelican Brief, The Hurricane, The Bone Collector, Out of Time, Malcolm X, Deja Vu, American Gangster, Training Day, Flight, The Book of Eli, Philadelphia
The bone collector is a really good one
They would have such a good time with Deja Vu and Out of Time. Richochet as well, but no one seems to remember that film.
John Q should be included in the list also!
The construction worker who's ex wife is Albanian is Spike Lee's good friend. If you ever watch a Knicks game at the Garden they are usually there together.
You must watch "shoot 'em up" too, also with Clive Owen as main character.
"Do you know what I hate?" LOL
Fallen,Devil in the blue dress, Ricochet, Virtuosity all great Denzel Movies
Lived on Wall st at the time. Remember them shooting these scenes and even caught a glimpse of Denzel going from set to trailer.
Always loved the flick
This is one of my favorite film soundtracks of all time. It is just extremely unique, and beautiful.
It's baffling how little of a cultural imprint this film has had, given it's quality. So few channels have reacted to it, I've been flabbergasted why. So fun!
Edit: And the fact that La Casa de Papel (Money Heist) basically stole the concept full cloth for its setup just makes it that much more obvious that this is a formula for success.
you have to see denzel in 'Trainig day" he won an oscar for that role
The Brave One with Jodie foster is really good
I Love this movie! It made me a Clive Owen "fan". (he has a great voice IMO)
I loved the clever "plan" and honestly did not see it coming originally.
My parents watched this rhis and they loved it, and it has a lot of crazy twists and turns throughout that will make you watch it again and again to figure out what really happened.
I know what happened, after seeing it once.
He hid in the walls. He's the Inside Man..... 😅🤭
Idk, I thought this movie was kinda dumb and confusing. Bloated. With good acting, no doubt. Good setpieces, yes.... but why though? Because he COULD??? Come tf on.....😔🙈

Looking forward to this- Inside Man is a great movie!
One of my favorite heist movies I actually know someone who did an inside bank robbery. They worked there and knew the cameras were broken so when cash was brought in before it could be counted, they took the top layer of the stacks and rearranged it, and got away with it.
A very underrated Spike Lee is Summer Of Sam, based around the Son of Sam killings
Good call on the 'generation kill' driver, but also one of the hostages did a sopranos ep where he was in with junior.. the Asian guy..
I can only hope they will get to know Ziggy Sobotka and Miles Straume in their future TV reactions.
He's always hilarious in every role I've seen him in.. Great in the show "industry" too.
I think Denzel had a mustache in Ricochet. Early 90’s movie. I personally like it. Fallen is a great Denzel movie too.
Fallen might be my favorite. And John Lithgow in ricochet is awesome
@@gregwodzynski941 agreed!
Spike Lee...master of the dolly shot. 21:00 - The shot on of Densel on the camera dolly with everyone else in the background was an amazing setup.

Also if you notice at 3:02 Spike Lee also did some very great double dolly shots to get that background fade in.
straight up my favorite shot in the movie, and I think his best use of it in the moment. It just hits so hard for me
Spike used it in a lot of his movies.. my favorite use of it was in Malcolm X in a pivotal moment.
@@user-dz6fy6qv2l yeah the floating dolly shots are amazing too. I just especially love that the camera is at a slight down angle and the footage purposely has other action on the background moving around him.

Of course I guess no one else wants to be compared with Spike in these things so they don't try it.
Also Harvey Keitel narrating along with the bike in Clockers was so great too.
Another Spike Lee joint with Denzel y'all should watch is He Got Game. Hope more Denzel movies are to come. Never gets old.
“Devil in a blue dress,” “courage under fire,” “the siege,” “he got game,” “training day,” “the bone collector,” “the hurricane” are just a few of Denzel’s film that you’ll enjoy. His masterclass performance was “Malcolm X.”

Delighted you got to watch one of my favorite movies!
Samantha is definitely on point about Panic Room. I saw this at the movies and it was fantastic. There are multiple great performances and high level suspense.
You guys should definitely check out The Negotiator
Super underrated film with Kevin Spacey, Samuel L. Jackson and a couple other faces you'll recognize :)
Great movie
There was a sequel written & planned according to Chiwetel Ejiofor
Spike Lee never could get funding to do the sequel. What a shame!
Such an under the radar epic suspenseful movie!
you guys should definitely watch Training Day. It is Denzel's best performance IMO. He won an oscar for it.
I adore Panic Room. Cool to see an evil Jodie Foster. Your first Spike Lee flick.
Another great Jodie Foster film is The Brave One.
I would love it if yall were to do Out Of Time. Amazing underrated Denzel movie!
I look at it this way: Dalton *did* steal something, it just wasn't money. What he stole was Case's good name/reputation. And in many ways, since you can't put a price on that, the loss hits much harder.
I am an inside man, too!
Especially during winter!._.
Clive Owen owned this movie.
Decades ago in the UK a friend brother built up a considerable collection of signs including street names from various cities and signs from public buildings, brass name plates etc. How he did it was simple. He owned a white van, a set of white overalls, a ladder and some tools and he simply drove up to his target and took it down. If asked he was told it was going for cleaning or replacement. Acting co0mpletely confidently and like it's his job he was never caught.
I always remember a guy walked in to curry’s in a hi viz jacket and a cupboard and took a load of tvs straight out the store in daylight
People are indoctrinated to comply with hi viz jackets and authority figures
Denzel, you say? Fences (2016)
One of the 3 best bank robbery movies ever, along with Heat and Dog Day Afternoon.
Miriam (the teller who refuses to strip down to her underwear, I believe) is played by the same actress who played one of the tellers in Dog Day Afternoon. If you ask me, I think she's involved. Two bank robberies? I guess it could be a coincidence...🤔
I would recommend "Training Day". just a tremendous performance from Denzel. and I would also say "Panic Room" as well, as you talked about.
Fudge, I forgot about training day.
At 12:44, love Sam's 'oh men, you never change' expression.
I've seen this movie twice, and loved it both times, and I've forgotten about it both times. I'm glad you guys reminded me of its existence.
A great movie, that doesn't receive a lot of attention from movie fans for whatever reason.
U guys should watch Phone Booth. The ones with Collin Farrel. Another masterpiece.
This was such a tight, flawless movie. Perfectly written!
GREAT MOVIE!! LETS F'ING GOOOOOOO!!! 💪😎💪
we've seen this several times, and Sam is right to watch it a second time to see it unfold in a different light. Great movie. check out a movie called The Fan with Robert DeNiro.
Jodie Foster said of all the movies she's ever done this one she said felt more like a team than main character study and that she enjoyed it.
Ooh, speaking of negotiator, watch The Negotiator 1998.
Great reaction! As usual! A Denzel film I must recommend: *Deja Vu* (2006)

How about every David Fincher film!
The Killer would make for a hell of a reaction haha
Denzel Washington in "Devil In A Blue Dress" 1995. Extremely entertaining and well-made. To keep things nice and vague, I'll just say "crime."
I hope y'all get to react to more Denzel and Spike Lee movies. Both are legendary as filmmakers in their own rights. What films they made on their own as well as together are very great watches.

Yes!!! A personal favorite of mine hope you like itv
Thanks guys

That's his best movie. But people don't listen.
Thx for another great reaction. One of Denzel earlier movies that I love is Glory. I think you would both enjoy it.
One of my favorite Denzel movies. Great subject and great actors and director Spike Lee
Hope you two are having an great and awesome day ❤
Jodi was also fantastic in Silence of the Lambs.
Yes! Children of Men IS the best movie ever made.

Been waiting for someone to do a reaction to this one! One of my favorites
The BBC or Netflix series with the same name is also reallly good David Tenant, Stanley Tucci are amazing in that show i highly recommend for anyone who hasnt seen this
Denzel is the man! The inside man…
oh my god... the "We never leave until the job is done" decal on the van...
You have to go back to the St. Elsewhere days to see Denzel with a mustache.
If you're going to follow up a series of heist films with a heist film, you definitely chose the right one, the first watch is special but it stands up to repeated viewings and is great to show people that haven't seen it. Please do Training Day next time, so many great Denzel movies to go but I want that the most. 😸
denzel washington AND christopher plummer! how did I miss this one? also I need to make a note to self not to be going commando the next time I have to go into a bank
Bin Laden's nephew ... and she was going to use Arthur as security to guarantee the loan. Definitely a bad ass fixer.
You gotta watch another great Denzel movie of the same genre, Deja Vu, highly recommend it
6:43 "maybe not anymore." -sam

One of Spike's best (and most mainstream) film that shows the influence of the original Taking of Pelham 123 (the other being Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs).
