- Welcome to our first-time watching as we react to The Equalizer (2014).
The Equalizer is a 2014 American vigilante action-thriller film directed by Antoine Fuqua. It is based on the 1980s TV series of the same title and the first of three films starring Denzel Washington. The cast includes Marton Csokas, Chloë Grace Moretz, David Harbour, Bill Pullman, and Melissa Leo. Washington plays Robert McCall, an ex-Marine and DIA officer, who reluctantly returns to action to protect a teenager from the members of the Russian mafia.
As he systematically dismantles the criminal empire, McCall faces off against a deadly enforcer (Marton Csokas) and finds himself hunted by the very people he seeks to destroy. With precise and calculated methods, McCall proves that justice has no equal.
The Equalizer is a gripping and intense thriller that showcases Denzel Washington at his finest, blending powerful storytelling with electrifying action.

Happy holidays to ya'll is well a good sleeper movie to watch is 2002 Equilibrium, 2002 The Bourne Identity and 2003 Underworld check them out one day I hope
Merry Christmas, hope you all have had a great time. Keep giving us these best reacts ❤ from Scotland
After you do the equalizer movies you gotta watch Denzel in Book of Eli you won't regret it guaranteed.
“When you pray for the rain, you gotta deal with the mud too.”
What a line. Denzel oozes charisma.
Man…the delivery is just so good! His onscreen presence is something else.
Amazing!
@@OfficialMediaKnightsThank you guys such a nice reaction… one killed 3 men with pencil and he with a book
Its ok
I've used this line many times when talking about the issue of censorship.
I honestly think this is my favorite reaction channel now. 100% because you both seem to understand movies and I absolutely love that. Not every reaction channel has people who actually loves the art of filmmaking like the two of you do!
I agree 💯.
Mine too
These 2 are great.
Yep, a lot of reactors are very entertaining and fun to watch, however, these two are not only entertaining, but extremely perceptive. They pretty much notice how each scene ties into the story, or the message that the scene is trying to put across.
Wow…you guys made our day with this. Thank you, truly. You guys have been nothing but the best, extremely supportive and along for the ride with pretty much anything we’ve done. Thank you for being this awesome ❤️
Robert McCall is one of my favorite characters because he has every single hallmark of controlled OCD. The way he arranges his napkins, the arrangement of his house, the way he closed the door three times, his cleanliness, and his military training all combined into the man he is.
Absolutely, such a conplete character! ❤ Also, Denzel Washington feels like a perfect choice for the part. He conveys the layered behavior of McCall so naturally and effortlessly.
When I first watched it in the theater I didn't catch the OCD. I thought he liked everything a certain way because of his military training and procedures.
@@CannonRaw him shutting the door three times when he goes to meet Slavi was the giveaway for me.
What is indeed the purpose of closing the door three times? Genuinely curious.🤔🤔
@@zionnewkirk4838 , it's just a common behavioral tick among people who have OCD.
Hey, guys! So glad you watched this. I'm not sure if anyone else has mentioned this, but: I love how the books that Robert is reading mirror where his character is in the story. The Old Man and the Sea speaks to Robert struggling with who he is. Don Quixote is him as the last knight "tilting at windmills", as it were. Then, at the end, he becomes "The Invisible Man". Such smart writing.
That’s so accurate, it’s amazing how they signalled to us where he is in his journey, using those books. Especially how he spoke of the Old Man and the Fish, and how each simply have to be who they truly are. This wasn’t just towards Chloe Grace Moretz’ character but for himself too - he, too, had to accept and be who he truly was.
Seen this a few times and never noticed this. Nice spot.🤘🤘
“The old man and the sea” there is a movie of that book. A 1990 very good movie. With the great Anthony Quinn. I know there is an older version but I only have seen that one but is a great story. Always been interested in reading the story. Maybe I’ll try to get a hand of that book 😉. Great reaction guys
@@OfficialMediaKnightsLove you guys but can you reaction on more Indian movies like kgf both chapter and kalki 2989ad it has the same actor that was in baahubali and kgf is one of the best movies of India and love you both soo much❤❤❤❤❤
Also, when he does come back to the Hardware store near the end, the song you hear is Gladys Knight and the Pips... which is the band they thought Bob was in when he was dancing earlier in the movie.
Early in, he told Alina to change her world. When she tried to stand up for herself, she was beat and put in the hospital. So Robert felt responsible for her situation and couldn’t stand by. He had to correct what he felt he started.
36:20 “He didn’t come for help, he came for permission” One of the hardest lines ever
Man On Fire is another good Denzel action movie. Love you guys.
💯 and a fun fact which connects Man on Fire with the Equalizer trilogy is Equalizer 3 was the first time since Man on Fire that Denzel Washington and Dakota Fanning worked together.
Oh YES!!!! Love it!!! ❤😊
Please watch this !! So good
You guys have gotta do Man On Fire with Denzel, & Dakota Fanning.
100%! Man On Fire is an absolute masterpiece
The Equalizer was originally a tv show in the 80's starring Edward Woodard. He helped people for favors in exchange for his help. By favors, it usually meant those he helped would in turn help him help someone else. A play on "pay it forward."
I wish they would put this in re-runs. I liked it as a kid.
The theme music was amazing. Classic 80s and iconic
LOVED. That. Show. It really was awesome to see a hero on TV who was clearly older (he rocked that gray hair) and had a lot of experience in life.
They offered the part to Denzel first, but he was doing a show called St Elsewhere. He said he wanted to do it.
It's Woodward. I remember him in The Wicker Man
He closes the door three times as a symbol of his last internal wavering over a decision he swore he'd never make again. I also adored the "ferris wheel mind" shot. I know that feeling, and his lack of sleep, all too well. Edit: just wanted to add that I also love the end conversation between Robert and Alina: she really did have a deeper understanding of who he is, simply due to her own empathy, trauma, and ability to observe. I have no doubt that she reminded Robert of his wife in no small way. She understood his leaving and never questioned their stories diverging. It's a beautifully human moment. She knows, he knows... So good.
Those who suffer in life are a lot more empathetic, im a very empathetic person because I've been through and still go through so much and have known suffering nearly my whole life, our experiences make us who we are but how we are deep down will determine what our experiences make us into.
While there may have been some symbolism between his disorder and the door, the door shutting 3x is representative of his OCD.
@@waynelowe3329Well said!
My take on that is McCall is autistic.
The door thing is OCD.
My favorite line of this movie is when Bill Pullmans character asks Susan "Were you able to help him?" And she answers "He didn't come for help. He came for permission." ❤❤❤❤
*This same director also did “Training Day” another great Denzel Washington film. Oscar winning performance*
Equalizer 2 and Equalizer 3 are just as amazing. I swear Denzel never misses!!
Three was meh tbh
@@SOLIDCHIMERA yeah i was gunna say that 3rd lacked the build up and the reason for everything felt so lacking when i watched it i felt like the movie had parts cut out to keep it in a certain run time, and it didnt have enough getting to understand/know the town so we could care WHY he did his thing.
Agreed, all three are amazing.
3 was bad. It was just a money grab.
@@yzskick Absolutely agree. The parts there were were well done and the production values were good but it definitely felt like half the story was missing. One extra grumble was the 'terrorised' towns-folk seemed remarkably unbothered by the circumstances if they were not being terrorised right at that moment.
Great review as always, guys! 😊
Bob using boiling honey to close his wound was honestly a genius move. It has a higher boiling point than water, meaning it will help cauterize the wound, and honey also has natural antioxidant and antibacterial properties; my Mum used to swear by the stuff! 😁
The line early on about the old man and the fish. You got to be who you are, you can’t change that but you can change your environment. 😮 Robert so badly wants to change his environment but can’t stop being who he is
Denzel mastered the idea that true power and true intimidation, is not from a man being angry and displaying that anger.
No... when you feel the chills down your back, it is because he is calm, facing off against monsters.
Denise, you are the one who talks about this the most, when you talk about the "competence" of a character. So interesting when you and Ari pick-up on things like that as film makers and broadens my scope on how I look at characters.
Not sure if anyone else has mentioned this but The Equalizer 2 was the very FIRST time that Denzel Washington did a sequel!
Loving your reactions, keep up the great work and belated Happy Christmas guys
The kid in Rob's story, Nicolai, was the main baddie.
On that exchange in the restaurant, Robert was able to let Nicolai know he can ALSO dig deep into anyone's history to know who he's dealing with.
And the fact that he was able to "finish the job" in Moscow within five business days, says a lot about who The Equalizer is - will be waiting for your reaction on Equalizer 2 and 3, those will be awesome! 💯❤️
Happy Holidays! 🎄🎄🎄
Always enjoyed how Denzel plays this character. That door scene tells it all - he's struggling between breaking his promise and following his conscience. And later, when the mask is off, you can see the true darkness in him. Staring into that guy's eyes as he dies. Like any true avenger, he's no hero. But he wants to be.
9:55 "...not being able to do anything about it..."
Me ::rubs hands together while chuckling maniacally::
Yeah. He knew he was going to go at them in his own way. Time for everything.
The scene in the stairwell where they confront each other is a tour de force of menace and tension. Two apex predators gradually reveal their true faces through nothing but eye contact, tone of voice and use of social space.
That scene is fantastic! Ughh man! I loved the interactions in this film. Both of them had a calm demeanor but the subtext is potent and you feel like a fight could break out any second.
It's OK. It's been done better in other films.
@@orangewarm1 okay? this video is not about other films lol
@@milkypeanutsonafriday😂😂 right?!! 😂😂😂
the actor that plays the villain is very good actor as well . the dude did a good job
He said he was a former Pip. The song that starts playing in the store is performed by Gladys Knight and the Pips. It lets the audience know he's there, ready to do what needs to be done.
Most reactors don't catch that. I've only seen one so far.
So happy you're reacting to this! It's one of my favourite action franchises. I love that this channel covers a variety of movies and not just the recent blockbusters.
Thank you so much for your support and generosity. You guys are truly the kindest. It warms our hearts to see how much you are enjoying these ❤️
I like how direct it is too - 'How did he.. ? ' and 'Who are you?' aren't uncommon questions about Robert, and the answers are simply shown, not told, as 'He did' , and 'He is.' - it's the only answers the ones he's focusing on deserve and get.
Teddy loudly and overtly describes himself as "a threat" , where Robert is a quiet certainty, a promise.
At the end when he’s talking to Mr Pushkin he’s flickering the lights so that Pushkins eyes cannot get used to the dark and see better. It serves as intimidation but also so he doesn’t notice the flickers of light so much.
It's nonsense. The guy has an army and he comes and goes without a scratch.
Kind of like john Wick falling off buildings without getting hurt, huh.
Honey is a natural anti-bacterial analgesic. He heated the honey to stave off infection and seal the wound against further bleeding. Painful but preventative. First Aid 101.
Denzel is probably the greatest actor of our time. No matter what role he plays, he is that character. Bad guy in "Training Day", good guy in "The Equalizer"...he can do it all.
I agree
True. I like how in Training Day he's much more ambiguous than just a "bad guy" though.
@@Shyning77 Oh yeah. I was oversimplifying to make the point. Denzel always brings the nuances out.
I dunno Robert McCall is scarier then most villains. lol
I just love how Bob can improvise and make anything a weapon! Only once did I see him use an actual firearm, and it wasn't even his. He gets bonus points over John Wick just for that level of badassery!
I've tried telling people that for years, McCall does what Wick does with random household objects, lol. He wouldn't stand a chance.
Wick's ONLY...claim is killing two people with a pencil.🤔 "Bob" for the win.🏆✌🏾
@@kdub3871Kevin mcallister with any prep time destroys both 😂
@vkdeen7570 🤦🏾♂️LMAO😆🤣😂😆💯👍🏾👏🏾✌🏾
I really love your reactions. One thing, and this isn't just you guys. Almost all of the reactors, especially the younger ones, miss the OCD queues. It used to be a really big cinematic trope, and isn't used much anymore, but with movies like Rainman, storytellers would show a person with extreme OCD or high functioning Autism by showing them counting and doing a lot of stuff with numbers. Movies got away from this eventually because it's not a really good representation of EVERYONE with those disorders. In this case tho, it really shows how he was able to be as good as he is at what he does, because it is a part of his psyche that lends itself well to his particular kind of work. The devil truly is in the details for someone with whom every detail can be the difference between life and death.
It didn’t even cross our minds because we were attributing all of his patterns as a potential sign of his training/preparation. But now a lot of the things he does makes complete sense!
@OfficialMediaKnights ABSOLUTELY! I would definitely recommend continuing with the other Equalizer movies, which both stand well on their own, but also do great homage to the groundwork laid by the 1980s TV series they're based on. However, the Denzel movie you should really check out is Man on Fire, which is a remake of a 1987 movie based on a really good book by AJ Quinnell. Not only is it directed by Tony Scott (brother of Ridley, and director of Top Gun and a slew of other Denzel movies worth watching), but the music is by Harry Gregson-Williams and has one of the best accompanying scores in any movie I've ever seen. Also, the cinematography by Paul Cameron is absolutely breathtaking!
As someone who has neatness, cleanliness OCD, I recognize Robert's character trait right away. Like how they gave the character little details like this, makes him seem more real and relatable
I love your guys reactions to these types of movies since they are my favorite. I love the fact the the antagonist wasn't ready to meet Robert and was thrown off by how smart he was
I always loved in these movies, no one’s goal or dream is too big or small in these movies… Robert respects them and tries to give them the tools to accomplish them… its truly a beautiful act of kindness to help people achieve what they want whether it be a security guard or a singer.
Legit, nobody does this deal better than you guys. Kudos.
Minister Denzel absolutely kills in this movie, I've yet to watch the third but surprised you guys are just reacting to it now, it's SO good.
P.S. If you haven't, Book of Eli is another incredibly underrated movie of his.
I watch a lot of these videos. You guys make make me feel like I can't wait to see you watch a movie and I've watched for 68 years old movies. New movies.
I love the expression on your face.
Keep it up
41:15 my favorite scene in the movie. McCall basically let him know that he knew more about him than he knew about McCall by telling the man about what he did as a kid. That was badass!! Check out these other great Denzel films. Antwon Fisher, Philadelphia, Fences, Man on Fire and Ricochet.
Thank you for the recommendations! Truly appreciate it ❤️
@@OfficialMediaKnights'Man on fire' is a must watch Denzel action movie. Definitely one of his best.
@@leobuscaglia5576 Also based on a true story.
Hi guys! Enjoyed your reactions. Denise asked why Robert closed the door several times, it’s because he has OCD. He is obsessed with order, routine, and repetition.
Huh thank you for that I always wondered too 😂
They fact that almost no one gets this, is scary.
@@Xfactor444-x4nyeah but that’s probably because 99% of ppl mistake ppl who like things being clean for OCD. They don’t understand that it’s largely a disorder of repetition and fear of breaking that repetition.
I interpreted that moment also to be about him going back and forth in his head as to whether to act. (i.e., get back in, considering all potential ramifications) I figured, his meticulousness/OCD led him to express that hesitation in that involuntary way.
He's never had to do that before anywhere else
So glad you guys watched this one it is so cool! Never piss off a former assassin that works in a home depot haha 😂😂
Honey heals wounds for anybody that doesn't know. I'm a nurse and we use honey regularly to put in wounds. We use sterilized, medical grade honey but any honey will do if you have it around your house and you get a cut or something. Will keep it free of infection and help it heal faster than just a bandaid or would dressing alone
Him walking away from an explosion that nearly engulfs him, without looking back, shows you just who Bob really is.
But the scene in the store at the end, just all the things he can grab and use.
Makes this one of my favorite action movies ever.
16:47 He opened the door a couple times because he was conflicted and wanted to hear and feel the door opening and shutting to see how he'd feel if he left or stayed. He choose to stay and be who he was meant to be reluctantly.
This might’ve already been mentioned in the comments, but it came to mind when you mentioned you hoped you liked this so you could watch the trilogy and I’ll just give you a hint.
This was the FIRST AND ONLY one of Denzel Washington’s movies that he ever did a sequel to. When I saw that I knew it had to be something special because that man doesn’t make a bad movie!
Love you guys! I’m here for it all!
The honey part is legit. Honey is a really good antiseptic and actually an over all good substance for humans. Honey is the thing that most resembles human blood in its molecular composition
Thing I like about The Equalizer is that he always gives the bad guys one opportunity to do the right thing.
Sadly for them they very rarely take that opportunity.
I am no one but starting to enjoy your content. Since you enjoyed this I do hope to see you follow up on the trilogy. Also, The Accountant with Ben Afleck and Anna Kendrick is a must see if you enjoyed this ! Cheers and best wishes and happy hollidays.
Wow this is so generous and so kind of you, we don’t know what to say!! We truly are so humbled by your support and are so so thankful!
The Accountant is on our list and we will get to it very soon!! We wish you a happy new year❤️❤️❤️
This was John wick before John wick existed. This has to be the first movie of this genre to ever be released and also be one of the best of the genre itself. It is one of my favorite movie with Denzel next to The book of Eli.
The best part of this movie was when the news paper truck blocks the Russians view of the restaurant. Like he knew the schedule enough to use it to his advantage. The bad guys knew his schedule but not the paper trucks. He knew that he timed everything.
I always look so forward to your reviews, particularly on movies I know. I am also a score person like Denise - a great score can add so much to a film!! Zimmer, Morricone, et. al. You two sometimes make my day brighter! Keep it up..
He has OCD, this is why everything has to be so orderly and perfect, and why he turns the lights on and off several times, or closes the doors several times
Equalizer is the rare storyline that keeps on giving , the sequels get even better and better .
I love Denise's audiophilic obsession with great movie scores. I've been a fan since the Michael Bay early 90s days and knew this type of badass, epic music is just gonna gain in popularity over the years. Couldn't wait to see her reaction to McCall's theme in this.
So you've seen how Keanu kills for revenge in John Wick.
You've seen how Denzel kills to help good people in The Equalizer.
Now it's time for you see why Bob Odenkirk kills in Nobody.
p.s. there's a cat in it
Nobody, is the perfect movie for them to watch next. The young girl is the girl in Kick Ass
Been enjoying your guys videos a lot! It’s honestly just like we’re all sitting watching movies together which is so fun
Denzel is one of the greats . Another of his best roles was in the Book Of Eli (2010)
The score at the end of the movie in the hardware store is very iconic from the eighties tV show.
Man on fire and Crimson tide are two other great Denzel movies
Fun tidbit: in "The Bone Collector", Denzel Washington plays a paraplegic homicide detective whose caregiver is played by Queen Latifah, who also plays Rob McCall (renamed Robyn) in "The Equalizer" on CBS.
And here goes the movie with my favorite Chloe Grace Moretz😊
I wanted so bad to meet her some day that I moved from Ukraine to America 9 years ago. And, guess what, I finally met her two months ago when she was doing her new movie in Chicago! I even took part in it as an extra. What a great opportunity it was for me. Not only meeting Chloe, but to collaborate with her in a way 😊
At the end when he confronted the "head of the snake", he kept turning the light on and off so his enemies eyes don't adjust to the darkness, that way he stays hidden during the whole encounter.
The reason why Robert slamming the door 3 times was him contemplating if he should go back to being violent or not. He didn't show his killing skills until after he made up his mind and decision.
I think he made up his mind when he moved the crystals out of alignment. (Notice that he/his OCD lined them up when he first walked up to the desk.)
Don’t know if anyone has commented on this, but at the start of the battle in the home improvement warehouse, the music comes on the speakers. It’s a nod to earlier in the movie when McCall said he was one of The Pips. The song was “Midnight Train to Georgia” 🙂
Great reaction and film. If you didn't realize, Robert plays Midnight Train to Georgia by Gladys Knight & the Pips over the store's loudspeaker.
My favorite all time movie. So glad you guys watched it. Your reaction on movies are the best. Love you guys!!
Finally guys!! I was waiting for this so long… cant wait for second and third one, this is one of the best trilogies ever!!
He said he was a Pip. He set up the sequence in the store to one of their classics, Leavin' on a Midnight Train.
FYI, honey has been used on wounds to prevent infection since at least the time of the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt, probably longer. There are records of it being used to dress the wounds of Egyptian nobles after battles (it was probably too expensive for commoners, though). Honey works to keep wounds from getting infected because it's completely antibacterial and nothing can live in it. That's why pure honey never goes bad, even after thousands of years. It'll eventually crystallize, but it'll never go bad.
Great cast, great script, direction and filming. The next 2 will not disappoint! There was a TV series that was quite well done several years ago too. Thanks guys.
Ah, one of my favorite Denzel performances ever! ❤ Also, one of Antoine Fuqua's best films. I'm a huge fan of this version of Robert McCall.
Superb reaction guys! Marton Csokas is one of the best actors to play a bad dude. He does it with little effort. He was also a great bad dude in The Bourne Supremacy. Reminds me of Bruce Payne in Passenger 57. No screaming. Just pure epic delivery. Now for Denzel. His transformation to this character for TE franchise was a total surprise for me. I have no doubts about his acting skills but after seeing this franchise I had to lift my jaw off the floor. Well done guys!
Nice profile pic 🔥🤘🏻
Great reaction for a fantastic movie. Please continue down the Denzel rabbit hole. He's fantastic. Man on Fire is great, but a movie not reviewed much is Antwone Fisher. Denzel is diverse and a superb actor. You won't be disappointed
Honey has natural antibiotic properties and has been used to treat wounds for centuries. Just don't heat it beforehand like he did in the movie. Have a sore throat? Grab a teaspoon of honey and savor it for a while, bit by bit. Do it a few times a day, if necessary. It'll help.
Yeah, him boiling the honey before applying it was to cauterize the wound so it would stop bleeding. In Ye Olden Days (and not so olden), people used a red-hot poker, or other metal implement, to do the same thing. But this way, he cauterizes the wound, and then also benefits from the honey's natural antibiotic properties afterwards.
Man on Fire is my favorite DW movie. Equalizer was like if his character in Man on Fire got older and retired.
Denzel was mostly well-known playing 'calm profile' dude. But, damn...he can play both side, good calm person and badass guy..nailed it both...like the one in Training Day too...
FINALY !!!!!
Can't wait for you to react to the 2 others, fucking amazing films, amazing acting, amazing scenes ect !!
He kept switching the lights to prevent Pushkin's eyes from adjusting and seeing the trap.
This whole franchise is fantastic. Can't wait until y'all get to the third one because that ended up being my favorite out of all three.
By the way, the scene with the honey is legit. Heated honey eradicates the spores that may be present. And per the NIH: "Honey has anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It can be used as a wound dressing to promote rapid and improved healing. These effects are due to honey’s anti-bacterial action, secondary to its high acidity, osmotic effect, anti-oxidant content and hydrogen peroxide content. The use of honey leads to improved wound healing in acute cases, pain relief in burn patients and decreased inflammatory response in such patients."
That song in the Hardware Store scene is "Midnight Train to Georgia...by Gladys Knight and The Pips, a callback to when Robert told his buddies in the store that he used to be a Pip.
You know you're a badass when you save Hit-Girl.
Not sure if this has been mentioned yet but the song playing over the speakers when he is at the lumber store at the end is Gladys Knight and the pips and remember he said he was a pip in the beginning lol funny stuff
Really awesome that you guys watched this and I do hope you watch the rest. It’s so much fun. Also after you’ve watched this movie I suggest you also watch “The Book of Elie” another Denzel movie that is also a great movie
What. I thought this wss already covered. Please do all three. Love your perspectives. Yall catch things that i missed even after too may rewatches. 😂❤
Pure honey has Anti-bacterial properties, so its great to use to treat infections, it also has anti-inflammation properties and it can be used to treat burns. Honey is very versatile plus its sticky and not easily absorbed so u can apply it and bandage it and it will do its thing for quite some time. As for why he heated it up id say to make it less goopy/sticky so it would penetrate the wound better then when it cools down it will partially solidify blocking the wound and helping to treat it.
Robert McCall = my hero!!
This series of movies is insane
Hope you do the next two!!
Controlled OCD & BAD ASS
Makes you wish you were him
Handing out justice everyday
(We need this in our country)
Part 3 is one to remember!!! It's Robert McCall at his most violent. The beginning itself says so much.. You guys are in for a hell of a ride
Flicking the lights on and off keeps your eyes from adapting to the dark so Pushkin couldn't see the wires on the wet floor.
The scene when they sit at the table...both of them deliver it. One thing that oc Denzel has the last HC line and look, but to be fair, the other guy - Marton Csokas - was holding his part pretty neat and to eye to eye with Denzel. That is well done Sir!
He opened and closed the door 3 times before the first fight because he was struggling with himself, with the promise he'd made to his late wife to never go back to "that life" again. He chose to break that promise to do the right thing and it hurt him badly. That's why he went to "ask for permission" later. He needed someone he trusted to tell him it was okay to embrace that part of himself again.
@meadmaker4525 I was going to post this and saw your comment. That was his point of no return, at that point he could walk away, go back to his new life. Turning that lock felt final...
Yeah, while as some other comments have pointed out his OCD certainly played a part in that moment, I think what you're saying is a big part of it. He's sitting there realizing what he's going to do and that he can't bring himself to walk away
The second I saw the thumbnail I knew we were in for a new trilogy reaction from these great reactors. I have something to say but it has to wait till the 3rd movie so will see you there.
In the original tv series Edward Woodward played the Equalizer.
ruclips.net/video/Ko75kgo3wZM/видео.html
Disciplined or orderly people sometimes develop Obsesive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). The light flicking on and off has a physiological and psychological aspect. The physical aspect is it makes the eyes have to adjust to constant changes like a flash bang grenade. The mental aspect is an enemy that wants you dead appear and disappear heightens the fear.
I love how Ari asked "Who are you man?" before anyone in the movie had the chance to ask.
Hi to you both from Sheffield yorkshire england the plight of elana and her friend is the most heart reaching of the several scenario's in this movie
Never start a fight with an old man. He's too old to fight and too tired to run, so he'll just kill you.
What if he's 110?
So much details in this movie, the writing, the shot, the performance both verbal language and body language are amazing. I favorite scene is when Nicolai was there at Robert's apartment, he was walking away and then come back when Robert kinda challenged him, instead of backing out, Robert took a step and confront Nicolai who's terrifying so closely. He got BALLS. My favorite death has to be the drill lolol
This man said " If we enjoy this..." Sir! How dare you! 🤣
Hello Denice: love ur reaction. And that line u said "See progress not perfection" is a great line. I'll keep it.
You seriously do not want to underestimate with Robert McCall, because he is a former Defense Clandestine Service operative of the Defense Intelligence Agency and a former Marine.
Robert McCall, aka. The Equalizer, is one of the most dangerous, deadliest, and feared men on earth, and he is the reincarnation of the Grim Reaper.
Great reaction guys, hope you both had a fantastic Christmas yesterday. It's touched on at the start of the movie but he's got a bit of ocd, a friend of mine has it himself and he will open and close my front door for about 20 minutes before leaving because to him he hasn't opened the door "properly". We just leave him to it because only he knows when he's got it right!
The door opening and closing was part of his OCD, as is his methodical cleanliness.
I watched this in the theater and the best coincidence ever happened, right when he blew up the ship, everything in the theater went dark. We all thought it was some sort of effect.. turns out the power went out due to a wind storm. we got to go back the next day and watch it again.
"Man On Fire" is so good too. Love this movie. And love you guys. 🥰🥰🥰
