Denzel gradually reduces the emotion in his face and eyes to perfection to deliver the end of this scene "what do you see when you look at me" his face was blank and soulless. What an actor.
I dont think you grasped the scene properly. He was in no way souless or cold but quite the opposite. Focused and precise. To describe it as souless is an insult to his character which possesses emotion. That was the whole point seperating these 2 men.
Teddy/Nikolai was wrong. When he saw sentiment as weakness, he later saw that McCall's emotion and sentiment was a strength, resolve, determination and passion - and would soon be passionate sadism for Nikolai. While he would never want to admit or display it, Nikolai had to be terrified. What one man would have the ballz and skill to take on a fearsome mafia and person like Nikolai. Even the visit right to his dinner table should have warned Nikolai he had never dealt with someone like this. The carnage in Slavi's office should have also warned him before he even knew who the assassin was. And finally when they first met, McCall's confidence in coming right up to him when he was supposedly a cop should have warned him. The smile "How did you find me ? Who's we ?" says you may be trying to figure me out but I have already "made" you.
Lotta young black talent comin up. Definitely won’t be Denzel but good men to pass the torch to. John Boyega, Johnathan Majors, Lakeith Stanfield, Winston Duke to name a few 🔥
Denzel is one of the best actors of all time, dudes definitely my favorite, he goes from smiling and having life in his eyes to being emotionally dead and having lifeless eyes like a doll. Not many people can pull that off so well, bravo Denzel, bravo
I'm convinced Denzel Washington is the greatest actor of our lifetime. Ive seen this movie a few times and this small clip had me zoned completely out while he was talking, all while getting actual goosebumps, again.
I think I probably watched this scene at least 50 times... it is one of the best scenes ever. We all know about Denzel's acting chops... but Marton Csokas is criminally underrated. Why has Hollywood never used this man to his full potential? Want to see him completely invested in a character? Watch him as Baron Quinn in Into The Badlands... only work I know from him where he's allowed to steal the show.
Martin is a great actor no question but he’s acting opposite Denzel. Denzel brings out the best in you as an actor. Tom Hanks said this exactly about Denzel after filming Philadelphia.
I love the basic theme that Denzel communicates in these movies: there’s always someone meaner or badder than you. At no point in time did the mob have even a 1 in million chance of making it out alive
The Competition at the 85th Academy Awards was tough, but him not winning for Flight will forever boggle my mind. One of the best acting performances I have ever seen in my life.
It's one of the coldest movie scenes of all time. These two fed off each other. Neither raised their voices or used profanity, and it was well understood.
That "okay".. at 1:38. The condesending way that was delivered...It's like an adult schooling a child, frustrated at the idea that he has no idea what is about to befall him, with that ego and bravado. "The real boogie man has arrived and now here's a story about you and how you literally are like a child to me, out of your league...hence the foster story". Masterful acting by Denzel.
The story about the adopted boy and the murdered foster parents is undoubtedly Nicolai's backstory, no doubt in part thanks to Mccall's friend Susan showing her homework. On the streets Nicolai prided himself a macho tough guy to hide his insecurities. But when he was adopted by the kind foster father, he felt naked and vulnerable from said kindness and the environment where "might doesn't make right" which he'd come to call his "natural habitat." Even when he grew comfortable under the foster parent's care, he still couldn't trust him to be any kinder than his last caretakers, while craving back the feeling of power and control he was used to on the streets the way a long-serving inmate craves back the cozy daycare lifestyle of prison he's been conditioned to accept. So in a moment of "weakness" he murdered his foster parents and destroyed the only good in his life just to prove himself right and maintain his craven tough guy facade. For all Nicolai's cartoonishly evil believe in sentimentality as weakness, he was hypocritically sentimental himself from all the fear and paranoia that governed his actions.
I like the reference you made lol. Every tough guy wannabe wants to be Chigurh. A scary badass who feels nothing and never fails. Every tough guy ends up being like Nicolai. Responsible for the destruction of the only good in their lives.
@@kaiz1845 While on point with said reference even Anton Chigurh ironically isn't much different from Nicolai. Nicolai thinks that violence, domination, torture and murder is the only means and end in life when he's nothing more than an insecure adult schoolbully afraid of opening up to others. On the other hand, while Chigurh is an unfeeling psychopath, he's also a contemptible coward who justifies his murders and contempt for humanity with a grandiose delusional philosophy best described as being "fate's chosen agent" like most real people with anti-social personality disorders. But by the end of No Country For Old Men his last victim Carla-Jean Moss calls bull on his philosophy, refusing his coin toss to the point he kills her anyway, thus proving her right that "the coin have no say, it's you," and (quote Heath Ledger Joker) "breaking his one rule" of letting fate decide everything. He's bewildered enough that he doesn't notice, less expect the reckless or drunk driver trying to overshoot him at the intersection, till it's too late. When he limps out of the car with a broken arm, two boys on bikes lend him a shirt to make a sling for nothing but humanities sake. Despite helping him for free out of natural kindness he insists they take his bribe not just to keep them quiet, but refusing to admit from the boy's actions that there is free will in this world and that neither fate less him is in full control of everything. That's much like the other MCs Llewylyn Moss and Ed Tom Bell who learned the hard way that the old ways they believed in only existed in their imagination; all three of them are the titular "old men with no country."
@@skymabile3989 Of course, and I think that's why the people who actually worship Chigurh are funny. The guy's good at what he does but at the end of the day he has a genuine disorder/disability. His shtick goes in a different direction, but the nature of what he is? That's no different from someone like Lenny from Of Mice and Men lol. Guy's psychopathic and OCD as hell.
@@skymabile3989 All men should keep the works of Machavelli in mind, and the story of Nicolai attests to that. He was kind, but TOO kind and that cost him his life. Men should be treated generously or destroyed.
1:24.....that VERY subtle sneer by Teddy when he realises he is re-living his own childhood through McCall's dissection. It eats away at him that McCall knows everything about him, including his childhood, while Teddy by contrast knows nothing about McCall. Throughout the film he tries to find out who McCall is - instead he dies with the question on his lips, never knowing the answer. 'Who are you?!!'
It took me about 2 minutes but I just realized that, out of context, putting the broken, bloody prescription glasses of one of your henchmen directly in to your glass of water, just before getting up and casually walking away, is one of the most offensive things an assassin or mercenary can do.
I don’t know if it’s only me but the calm demeanor between these two men can make a grown man peep his pants. Direct communication both verbal and non-verbal.
It must be difficult being in a scene with Denzil Washington, knowing that all eyes are on him even when he's not speaking. Only a handful of actors have that charisma.
Have you ever met an actor. The majority have egos bigger than Trump(not a dig). The same way a person has to be borderline insane and delusional to make it into and excel in professional sports. Most actors think they are at the very least on par with the greats when the cameras start rolling, if they didn't they'd never make it.
@@ReelNinja1 The Equalizer scene is all filler and no killer though, like two people just rambling on, zero tension at all...as soon as that silly story starts getting told, either one of them could have well fell asleep... Its clear they were trying to emulate the HEAT scene, but well, what a fail.
This scene alone is worth the price of admission. THAT is acting! Denzel is from my hometown. I was honored to meet the woman that trained him before she passed away.
When he hits him with the " you think you know me?" The file got from home girl was spot on. He does know him. This stuns him, it shows as Mcall walks out
Great acting and excellent film making. There are catchlights in Denzel's eyes, the little white reflections, for most of his dialogue. You almost always have catchlights in the eyes because it gives them life on camera. They turn them off for the final part when he asks Nickolai what he sees. They look soulless.
everybodies talkijng about denzels acting, but i love the other dude too (i dont know his name, wish i did), i love the way hes able to capture the fear slowly setting in, the way his poker face melts away and and you can see his expression shift from one of smugness to fear, good stuff.
2:10 😂 he had to smell the wine glass to make sure what he was hearing was actually real, because everything he was telling him was true 😂 he thought he poisoned the drink wit something😂
I rarely comment on these things. wow. just WOW. I can't think of any other actor that is on his level. Denzel is truly the greatest of all time. That was incredible!!!
Denzel dropped the sunglass in wine after asking “what do you see in me.” He did that to tell the man “Your eyes(sunglasses) see blood (red wine.).” And left.
This is what I love about equalizer Denzel Washington just psychoanalyze this man after a couple hours of researched and use his own figure of speech against him crazy….
Such a good scene because before this, the Russian thought Washington's character was "talented" and an obviously very dangerous man...but still at the core a man like he came across countless times. But, when Washington starts telling a story that shows he has very intimate knowledge of him, he realizes that no, he's not like anyone he has ever dealt with before. Before this scene, The Russian had no reason to think Washington even knew his name, much less one single thing about him, personally. To suddenly hear Washington giving him intimate details of his life that very few (if any) knew about, would be pretty...scary...for him. The way Nikoli tilts his head when it dawns on him that Washington knows this intimate detail that no else probably knows is a great tell that Nikoli is really quite shocked (obviously he tried to show no emotion). His attempt to slough it off as "a well known story" is completely unconvincing (a story like, occurring in the USSR over 30 years ago, would NOT be a well known story, obviously). Washington lets this be known with his "mmm..." which is almost as blatant as if he said, "pffft...yeah, sure...a well known story." The real reason for the story was to send the message to Nikoli that, "you don't have a clue about me...I'm not like anyone you've ever dealt with, before." Just a very well written...and acted...scene in a really great movie.
Just once I want to see a scene like this where it’s more realistic: the waiter comes over and see’s Denzel and asks if he’d like a drink, some Jalapeño Poppers, or Extreme Fajitas, as he’s in the middle of his speech.
I worked in a restaurant and if two people are having a very intense conversation in terms of voice is low and body language is tense, the waiters and waitress are to recognize and not disturb the flow of conversation. Maybe this happens in rinky dink diners but in upscale places with business dealings and private conversations, the staff knows best not to bother them.
You could give credit to the actor and leave it at that but your anger towards Denzel (Black People) will be credited to you also the fact you don't even mention his name cause you did not know Marton Csokas helps solidify your ignorance 💯
3:24 Nicolai: You strike me as a sentimental man, (proceeds to ramble on about hhow basic human decency and virtue as weakness). Denzel/Mcall: Where'd you get that line, in a comic book? Or a Sat AM cartoon? 😎
If you appreciate good acting then this is one of those scenes you should love. Nicolai facial expression says everything. He admires McCall's coldness also lol

I worked in a restaurant and if two people are having a very intense conversation in terms of voice is low and body language is tense, the waiters and waitress are to recognize and not disturb the flow of conversation. Maybe this happens in rinky dink diners but in upscale places with business dealings and private conversations, the staff knows best not to bother them.
@@cobrakingkaiIt happened in Office Space.
Nicolai " I don't get paid enough for this ish" 🤣
Can we also give credit to the other guy? He played his role very well too.
other guy 😶
Márton Csókás, born in New Zealand to a Hungarian father and Australian mother.
You could give credit to the actor and leave it at that but your anger towards Denzel (Black People) will be credited to you also the fact you don't even mention his name cause you did not know Marton Csokas helps solidify your ignorance 💯
@@jaybeswick9062 Dude, stop doing drugs.
What an actor. Mindblowing.
What do you see when you look at me?
And that’s where McCall should have answered with a straight menacing face : ‘’ A dead men ‘’ I would have been scared as hell 💀🤚✨
@@gasaiyuno9608 underrated af, this comment
@@RafelAlva thanks :D
Russian fool got scared.
When you pray for rain you gotta deal with the mud too 🔥🔥
“When you look at me what do you see?”
Kevin Spacey, tbh.
huh?
@@orangewarm1 huh?
Lmaoooo
A well-structured argument!
Imagine not writing the movie name in the title or description. Thumbs down.
Denzel is such a G. Always bad ass AF in all his movies!
He gets whacked by the Russians in Training Day, and whacks the Russians here. The circle is complete.
Them Russians did an overkill in Training Day
3:24
Nicolai: You strike me as a sentimental man, (proceeds to ramble on about hhow basic human decency and virtue as weakness).
Denzel/Mcall: Where'd you get that line, in a comic book? Or a Sat AM cartoon? 😎
"When you pray for rain, you have to deal with the mud too"
Denzel said this line moments before in the scene
If you appreciate good acting then this is one of those scenes you should love. Nicolai facial expression says everything. He admires McCall's coldness also lol
