I have worked for a rival of Home Depot (Harbor Freight) - trust me, I sold enough of some of those tools to know that it wasn't (all) Home Depot. That sledge in particular. I know that sledge hammer so well.
@@yepimheretoo2270 Watched that pre 9/11.... it was CRAZY how real that movie became afterwards. I especially remember the torture scene. His acting and words there. Powerfull stuff.
The Equalizer was a show on TV between 1985-1989 set in New York with English actor Edward Woodward who was seen in Hot Fuzz as the Neighbourhood watch NWA years later after the show. Denzel did a good job as usual.
"DeJa Vu" is a great Denzel Movie, So is "The Book Of Eli" and "Fallen" and "The Bone Collector", "Unstopable", "Devil In A Blue Dress", "The Pelican Brief"!
By all means Samantha needs to see "Man on Fire" (directed by the late Tony Scott ... Ridley Scott's brother) and "Inside Man", directed by Spike Lee). Both are great movies. Another Tony Scott / Denzel Washington collaboration that was mentioned is "Deja Vu" (a bit of sci-fi) and well worth watching and very underrated. The most unusual Denzel Washington movie that was also mentioned is, "Fallen", which gets into the dark realm of the supernatural. I've never seen a movie quite like it. Totally unique.
Time is on my side,yes it is. Time is on my side, yes it is. Searching for good time just wait and see. You come running back, you come running back, you come running back to me.
"I AM FILLED WITH POWER, YOU MIGHT THINK I'M AN IMPOTENT PRISONER HANDCUFFED AND SHACKLED LOCKED IN AN EIGHT BY SEVEN CELL EACH NIGHT AND DAY, BUT I AM FILLED WITH A STRENGTH THAT REACHES WAY BEYOND THESE BARS SIR! I CAN CRUSH ANYONE I WANT TO JUST AS EASILY AS DIALLING A TELEPHONE. THERE'S NO ONE BEYOND MY REACH, YOU HEAR ME, NO ONE!"
Inside Man is an underrated film. A great cast, good pacing and an interesting take on a classic trope. Denzel’s performance is one of my favourite of his filmography. He stole the show and his scenes with Christopher Plummer are so good. Hope to se you react to that, Training Day, American Gangster and Flight.
Not everyone. The series work off entirely different rules and the disrespect it would do the Robert would ruin it. Robert prevails in situations by being smarter and more observant than the ones hes fighting. John essentially just barrels through his enemies
I was a PA on this here in my city Boston! Denzel was a pleasure to work with on set. Truly a genuine dude. The movie went almost a few months late in production so it was stressful at times but it was def worth it. Just seen the 3rd one over the weekend and it’s definitely the most violent one. Can’t wait for you guy’s reaction for the second one ❤
Check out these other Denzel Washington films: 1. Devil In A Blue Dress 2. Training Day 3. Flight He plays 3 very different characters in each. Some of his best work.
I was bummed that no sequels were ever made to Devil in a Blue Dress; I presume it didn’t make enough do-re-mi. But it’s a great series of mystery novels set in 40s L.A. Flight is also very different for him and was gripping!
@@Divamarja_CAMe too. It’s not like there isn’t plenty more source material. That novel series is great - it actually starts in post war 40s LA like you said, but the novels go through normal time - through the 50s and 60s into the 70s.
YES!! You're gonna love this movie! Based on the 1985-1989 TV series of the same name. A former CIA operative turns vigilante to help those in need of his assistance. Be sure to watch THE EQUALIZER 2.
@@shanenolan5625 Did the show ever reveal that he was MI6? because I remember the premise stating that he was a former operative of the company/Agency (CIA) but I'll admit that didn't watch that much of the show so I can't say for sure.
@@rccraig7580Well he was extremely obviously British. The CIA is exclusively American. I think having a British actor playing a British character made it pretty clear that he was supposed to be former MI6.
So a positive note, I like to say this. Denzel Washington comes from the city of Mount Vernon, New York. It is the same city that I grew up in. He makes us very proud to represent the city of Mount Vernon, New York. He never takes for granted where he's from. He always represents the city. We have a lot of talent from the city of mount vernon in different genres, whether it's actors, musicians, professional athletes, but denzel stands above them all. He makes a so proud.
Easiest way to clean a blender, put a couple cups of hot water into it, a couple drops of dish soap, and let it run on high for 30 seconds or so. The entire bottom half and the blade assembly are now clean, just clean the sides a bit and then rinse it all out. No dis-assembly required.
*Inside Man* was a great movie!! I've seen it too many times to count. *The Tragedy of Macbeth* (2021) with Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand, directed by Joel Coen, might be my favorite Denzel movie right now. It was beautiful and he was amazing in it.
Denzel delivers with his films. Both in the action and themes. This one is quite the summer powerhouse, definitely one to be engrossed in with popcorn and soda. Intense, brutal and the bad guys sure have it coming.
Cool movie for sure. You guys absolutely HAVE to do "Training Day". Densel won the best actor award for it and has great performances all around. Awesome movie I know you two will love. And a non Denzel movie you need to watch is "Sicario". A tense drama that is a great movie also.
The Equalizer series (originally a series with Edward Woodward) has been brilliant. Other good Denzil movies include the aforementioned MAN ON FIRE, DEJA VU, TRAINING DAY, BOOK OF ELI, PHILADELPHIA and FALLEN. I suspect there are more I haven't yet seen.
The Equalizer and John Wick both released in 2014, and in 2012 Jack Reacher with Tom Cruise was released. All have a similar and brutal action feel to them, with a hint of a detective story throughout (John Wick the least on that front, but he's still finding his way through to the end goal).
So many people miss the Jack Reacher movies. They will watch the TV series but they sleep on the movies which is odd to me considering Tom Cruise is the playing Jack Reacher.
Robert knows all the right moves. That's why I think The Pips dance is an in-joke. He can improvise and turn any object into a weapon. Probably the best revenge movie since Man on Fire.
nah JW is the best. Lots of movies where the revenge is because of something done to another human but JW is the only series where the main character kills over 400 people because of a dog.
I have to leave this comment for everyone who reacts to this movie. Honey has been used by injured warriors for thousands of years. It acts as an anti bacterial agent and the nutrient rich base promotes healing.❤
Like a lot of what are now serious actors Bill Pullman started out doing comedies. He is absolutely hilarious in *Ruthless People* (1986) with Bette Midler and Danny DeVito.
YAAAASSSS RUTHLESS PEOPLE 💜💜 I love what the cop said about Bills character: "This man might be the stupidest person on the face of the earth. Perhaps we should shoot him."😅
Virtuosity is a good Denzel movie from the 90s, it’s super cheesy good fun and it also stars Russell Crowe in one of the most Unhinged roles of his career
Please do a Denzel series like Arnold and Sylvester. Incredible actor. So many great movies. Inside Man, hurricane, training day, Pelican Brief and Philadelphia
I loved that you never called the "Home Mart" store Home Depot even once by mistake like ALL the other channels have done. Good job paying attention 👍👏👊✌❤
A couple of early Denzel movies you can add to a future poll are two great ones "The Hurricane" and "Philadelphia" Those two movies really made him my favorite actor. ❤ To Daniel, Sam and your new baby.
Its my head cannon that The Equalizer, Nobody, and John Wick are all in the same cinematic universe. Also I'm voting Remember the Titans as your next Denzel movie.
Denzel , is like the would be knight in his book Don Quixote ,except McCall delivers his acts of chivalry with skill and violence . Kudos to the cast, Nicolai played so chillingly by Marton Csokas was truly evil.
Hey guys...great reaction. So glad that you started this series. One of my favorites for sure. Cant wait till you do part 2. Definitely has more heart to it. Also just saw 3 tonight and I'll just say that they get better
On the original TV series, McCall had a son who was played by William Zabka, AKA Johnny from The Karate Kid/Cobra Kai. Coincidentally, the actress who plays his friend/former boss Susan appeared on an episode of the original series.
I saw E3 twice. It was fuckin AWESOME. His background 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
Denzel is such a great actor with almost no bad films( I didn't care for Training Day but its still pretty good). A film I think is under rated but is so good with a cool concept, great cast and I think you will enjoy is Deja Vu from 2006.
The old series from the 80's with Edward Woodward was something the family and i used to watch together. These movies with Denzel are a solid adaptation even if they are more brutal for our desensitised 'modern' era.
Hot honey cauterizes the wound and when it cools leaves a film over the area. Honey has the added benefit that it is anti-bacterial so in theory it could stop the wound from infecting.
Just saw E3! It’s the best in the series! Great closer to a great series. Recommended Denzel films: - Training Day - Man On Fire - Malcolm X - American Gangster - Inside Man - Crimson Tide - Unstoppable - Hurricane - Book Of Eli - He got game -2 guns.
One look at the thumbnail reaction image and I knew what scene it was; man that barbwire setup was a slasher level kill This movie is like what if John Wick was Batman and Jason Voorhees
I loved the original tv series as a kid. This movie is how you do an adaptation of that tv series. I really recommend Man on Fire and Fallen -- both good Denzel movies. Book of Elie is also a must Denzel movie!
The synopsis of EQ1 was revealed too early in 2012. McCall's history was suppose to be kept a secret until the film. To differentiate from the McCall of the tv series. Even if it was spoiled, I did enjoy it.
Denzel must-see films... - Courage Under Fire (w Meg Ryan) - Crimson Tide (w Gene Hackman) - Remember The Titans (about high school football) - Training Day (w Ethan Hawke) - Man On Fire (she needs to see) - American Gangster (about real life Frank Lucas) - Flight (drama about the cost of alcoholism) Also, speaking of Gene Hackman, if you havent seen these... - The Quick And The Dead (w Sharon Stone) - Runaway Jury (w Dustin Hoffman and John Cusack) - The Firm (w Tom Cruise) - Unforgiven (w Clint Eastwood) - Behind Enemy Lines (w Owen Wilson) - Enemy Of The State (w Slappy McSlapperton) - The Chamber (w Chris O'Donnell)
On the two apartments - one tap vs two taps in the sink. Where he was treating his leg there was only one mixer tap, and the room they burst in to had two seperate.. :) Also I think you've done Hot Fuzz? The guy who played The Equalizer in original TV series was the same actor for Mr Tom Weaver (in the CCTV room at the police station) - Edward Woodward. :p
Fun movie. Based on the TV show "The Equalizer" (1985-1989). Great reaction as always. BTW, honey has anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Pine tar and some other natural ingredients can also used for wound care.
I feel like I've already seen you guys react to CRIMSON TIDE with Denzel and Gene Hackman...? If not, definitely check that one out + PHILADELPHIA with Tom Hanks, THE PELICAN BRIEF with Julia Roberts, AMERICAN GANGSTER with Russell Crowe, FALLEN and REMEMBER THE TITANS! 😁
Hell yeah, this was a pleasant surprise to watch after work lol these are like some of my favorite movies! Definitely check out Training Day (2001) with Denzel, was also made by the same director, Antoine Fuqua.
I'm one of those goofballs who likes the old TV show more than the Denzel remakes...but I MUST watch this reaction because I love TBR Schmitt even more! 👍
I have yet to watch the Equalizer series. So I must unfortunately refrain from watching your reaction as I do not much care for spoilers (regardless of how long the movie's been out). BUT... I look forward to watching y'alls reaction once I've seen it
bruh, Man on Fire is incredible!!! if Sam hasn't seen that one yet.... that needs to change!!! one of Denzel's best. the direction, casting, acting, cinematography. hell, even the music is great. without giving any plot points away, there's a quick camera shot of Denzel on a bridge towards the end of the movie. that shot with the solemn piano in the background... it's like a painting. Sam, girl. you gotta watch that one soon!!! a couple honorable mentions of his other films, if either of you haven't watched them yet, or anyone in the audience hasn't; Philadelphia, Training Day, Antwone Fisher, American Gangster, Flight, Fences... just to name a small handful of so many great performances of Denzel's
I found it interesting how Robert went to Susan, his old supervisor at the DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency), not only for intel on the bad guy, but also for 'permission'. On one level, perhaps it was a moral permission, as an old and trusted friend, _should_ he get involved with this lowlife, in killing him, and perhaps even his boss the Russian oligarch? And perhaps 'permission' in the sense of making sure he'll not be messing up any current ops or initiatives for DIA by doing so. Wouldn't do to have his old shop put out a hit on him, either by not knowing it's him and suspecting a new actor in the game, or perhaps knowing it's him and still taking him out because his actions are unauthorized. Susan's not warning him off gives him the green light to 'take out the trash'. Which he does. Effectively.
At the 19:40 mark, that scene in the diner using the book to break that enforcer's neck is cool. However you can not short out the power the way he stuck the knife into the electrical outlet.
Don't know if y'all caught this, but if you recall at the start, when they were trying to guess what Denzel's character used to do, he said he was a pip, then starts dancing. Now go to the climactic standoff, and when the music starts playing in the Home Mart, it is Gladys Knight and the Pips!
i remember when i first watched this movie, i knew denzel's character was going to be some dangerous and highly proficient person but that first scene where he kills slavi and his men completely shocked me. i remember being unprepared for the brutality and cold efficiency of the violence when seeing it. such a gratifying scene and it really establishes what the Equalizer is capable of for the rest of the movie.
Denzel Washington recommendations: The Pelican Brief Crimson Tide Virtuosity Courage Under Fire The Siege The Bone Collector John Q. Out of Time Inside Man Déjà Vu American Gangster The Taking of Pelham 123 The Book of Eli Unstoppable there are others but these are the ones that I've actually watched
Man on Fire (2004) is another Denzel film along the same lines as The Equalizer I think you'd enjoy. I also recommend American Gangster (2007), Flight (2012), Remember the Titans (2000), Crimson Tide (1995), Philadelphia (1993), Malcom X (1992) and Glory (1989).
You may want more wholesome and uplifting movies on your schedule when you have your baby and will be stressed & emotional. I suggest: Cocoon 1985 Win Win 2011 Overboard 1987 Weekend at Bernie's 1989 The Way Back 2010
I know people are talking about Denzel's big movies, but please don't miss out on some of his best older films like Fallen (1998), The Siege (1998) and Courage Under Fire (1996)
This series is based off an 80s TV show of the same name. Where each episode a retired secret operative (Robert McCall) helps people in need advertising his services in the newspaper, like we see Robert do at the end of this film.
![[RE-UPLOAD] The Godfather (1972) First Time Watching! Movie Reaction!!](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/yUpPR9HfWOE/mqdefault.jpg)
Denzel is the man. Plain and simple.
Def in top 3 of actors
For me he is No. 1
Although, I don't like it when he plays a "bad guy", you cannot go wrong with ANY Denzel movie. Really, just pick one and start your Denzel series.
@@ugaladhthey have to watch Malcolm X
In "Training Day", he's The Un-Equalizer
Best Home Depot commercial ever, Denzel rlly nailed this role
I see what you did there…clever girl.
Sure....if it was HD but it's not. No orange paint at the "Home Mart".
Nice one! :D
One of this movie's ads was a faux Home Mart commercial that featured the scene with Denzel killing in the store.
I have worked for a rival of Home Depot (Harbor Freight) - trust me, I sold enough of some of those tools to know that it wasn't (all) Home Depot. That sledge in particular. I know that sledge hammer so well.
"He didn't come for help, he came for permission." - one of the best lines in the movie.
Agreed!! And her expression when she delivered that line.
Just saw the third one and it was great. A solid trilogy and Denzel Washington is one of the greats.
You two should definitely check out Training Day, which is the movie that won him his Oscar. You will love it, I'm telling you.
yes!
King Kong aint got shit on me!
Yes, definitely watch Training Day. Arguably his best film.
Also from director Anton Fuqua. You can tell he enjoys working with Denzel.
brill flick
If you want another good Denzel movie, I would recommend Unstoppable. Its a hidden gem, also stars Chris Pine and Rosario Dawson.
Some of my favorite Denzel movies include, Crimson Tide, Man on Fire, Training Day, and The Siege.
The Siege gets overlooked, but it's such a good movie & great actors.
@@yepimheretoo2270 Watched that pre 9/11.... it was CRAZY how real that movie became afterwards. I especially remember the torture scene. His acting and words there. Powerfull stuff.
Crimson Tide is soooo good. The Siege is great too. And Training Day and Man on Fire are unmissable.
Glory where it all started for classic Denzel...
The Equalizer was a show on TV between 1985-1989 set in New York with English actor Edward Woodward who was seen in Hot Fuzz as the Neighbourhood watch NWA years later after the show. Denzel did a good job as usual.
The ending harkens back to the old series, which had The Equalizer helping someone different each weekly episode.
Edward Woodward was excellent in this role- he won the 1986 Golden Globe Aware for Best Television Actor.
I miss the Stewart Copeland soundtrack 😁
loved the original series and loved this trilogy. thats how you do a remake
Set in Boston
"DeJa Vu" is a great Denzel Movie, So is "The Book Of Eli" and "Fallen" and "The Bone Collector", "Unstopable", "Devil In A Blue Dress", "The Pelican Brief"!
Philadelphia too!
And many more!!
Virtuosity is slept on too!!! :D
I Love Deja Vu. None of my favorite reactors have done it yet.
Deja Vu and Fallen, yes please!
By all means Samantha needs to see "Man on Fire" (directed by the late Tony Scott ... Ridley Scott's brother) and "Inside Man", directed by Spike Lee). Both are great movies.

Can I get some love for Devil In A Blue Dress?
I also like the remake of ''The Magnificent Seven'' although a lot of people didn't care for it. Also don't forget ''The Book of Eli''!
Inside Man is an underrated film. A great cast, good pacing and an interesting take on a classic trope. Denzel’s performance is one of my favourite of his filmography. He stole the show and his scenes with Christopher Plummer are so good. Hope to se you react to that, Training Day, American Gangster and Flight.
It's not underrated. 🤡
Yes. Add Fallen in there also. Don't see alot reacting to that and it's one of my favs with Denzel
inside man is fantastic, love it
All great movies. Denzel IS the MAN!
@@JordanJMyersTiiime is on my side. Yes it is!
I'm so happy that you guys loved this movie. I love it. Hope you watch part 2 soon. Thanks.
This is a great movie. You should watch Man on Fire with Denzel Washington
An awesome movie...I never get tired of this one.
I will NEVER give up hope for a John Wick/Equalizer crossover. Would set a body count record for sure. 💀💀💀
The best crossover Will be denzel Washington and lo amo Neeson. In a r rated movie
EQ 4 will be John Wick prequal.
John Wick takes out Robert McCall.
John Wick is who you call to kill the boogey man. Robert McCall is the boogey man.
No because the two series have completely different views on how action is shot
Everyone wants it a team up movie with those 2 would be epic
Not everyone. The series work off entirely different rules and the disrespect it would do the Robert would ruin it. Robert prevails in situations by being smarter and more observant than the ones hes fighting. John essentially just barrels through his enemies
I was a PA on this here in my city Boston! Denzel was a pleasure to work with on set. Truly a genuine dude.

The differnce is the weight and gravity of Denzel's acting. He is magnetic.
Denzel Washinton embodies every action movie trope in an awesome performance.
Check out these other Denzel Washington films: 1. Devil In A Blue Dress 2. Training Day 3. Flight He plays 3 very different characters in each. Some of his best work.
Heck yeah to Devil in a Blue Dress! A real classic.
I was bummed that no sequels were ever made to Devil in a Blue Dress; I presume it didn’t make enough do-re-mi. But it’s a great series of mystery novels set in 40s L.A. Flight is also very different for him and was gripping!

*Inside Man* is great. I would also highly recommend *Deja Vu* (2006). A great sci fi-ish *Denzel* film.
deja vu I definitely recommend that movie he has some other great movies from the late '90s in to the early 2000s
Crimson Tide is my favorite. Denzel and Gene Hackman kill it. Such a nail biter.
Chief of the boat!
Never thought this would've been a trilogy but I'm so glad it did.
Denzel delivers with his films. Both in the action and themes. This one is quite the summer powerhouse, definitely one to be engrossed in with popcorn and soda. Intense, brutal and the bad guys sure have it coming.
If you want an excellent jumpscare movie, I HIGHLY recommend *Don't Breathe.* You'd never guess the wimp Ike from Tombstone could be so terrifying.
"You pray for rain, you gotta deal with the mud too" is one of the coldest lines in this movie or ANY movie ever.

@@LordVolkov Pelham! Yep thats another one I've seen and slipped..
The Bone Collector, Heart Condition, Crimson Tide (which they've seen), Virtuosity... Okay that last was a little cheesy, but it was the 90s.
American gangster, Ricochet....

Amazing how many reactors have not watched many Denzel films .....dude has a crazy catalog of movies way before equalizer.
Malcom ×
@@cameronhill9746 I would love Malcolm x but people stay away for controversial reasons.
Completely forgot Malcolm X which is one his best. Not as good as Glory but close
Hurricane is better though
My uncle's one criterion for action movies: Good killin'. "The Equalizer" passes the test.
3 years later my request has been answered 😂 and yes I did on patron hope they do bad boys as well
Man on Fire is a MUST! Cant wait to see the baby Schmitt! 🎉🎉
I loved that you never called the "Home Mart" store Home Depot even once by mistake like ALL the other channels have done. Good job paying attention 👍👏👊✌❤
The scene with Denzel and Marton Csokas in the restaurant is acting of the highest order. Some of it not involving speaking, just facial expressions.
man on fire is one of Denzels best movies.
A couple of early Denzel movies you can add to a future poll are two great ones "The Hurricane" and "Philadelphia" Those two movies really made him my favorite actor.
❤ To Daniel, Sam and your new baby.
Yessss! And Devil in a Blue Dress is another good classic Denzel film.
I'm glad in your opening that you mentioned "NOBODY." If you liked this movie, you would like it as well.
Its my head cannon that The Equalizer, Nobody, and John Wick are all in the same cinematic universe. Also I'm voting Remember the Titans as your next Denzel movie.
My favorite Denzel movies are "Remember the Titans" and "The Pelican Brief"! I'm so glad you liked "The Equalizer".
“He got game” is another great film of his.

SKILLS: military training, high intelligence, expert marksman, expert martial artist, high pain tolerance, expertise in weaponry, master tactician, knife mastery, explosive mastery, multilingualism
Denzel is such a great actor with almost no bad films( I didn't care for Training Day but its still pretty good). A film I think is under rated but is so good with a cool concept, great cast and I think you will enjoy is Deja Vu from 2006.
Out of time; John Q; DeJavu; all exceptional!!
Samantha, you're looking positively radiant!!! Best wishes!!!💐 💐 💐
The old series from the 80's with Edward Woodward was something the family and i used to watch together. These movies with Denzel are a solid adaptation even if they are more brutal for our desensitised 'modern' era.
Also Director Antoine Fuqua’s Shooter, Tears of the Sun and Training Day
"Flight" is a good Denzel one. "Nobody" is amazing also.
Hot honey cauterizes the wound and when it cools leaves a film over the area. Honey has the added benefit that it is anti-bacterial so in theory it could stop the wound from infecting.
Just saw E3! It’s the best in the series! Great closer to a great series. Recommended Denzel films:
- Training Day
- Man On Fire
- Malcolm X
- American Gangster
- Inside Man
- Crimson Tide
- Unstoppable
- Hurricane
- Book Of Eli
- He got game
-2 guns.
"Deja Vu" is a really good sci-fi movie with Denzel. It's not mentioned all that often, but it's quite good.
One look at the thumbnail reaction image and I knew what scene it was; man that barbwire setup was a slasher level kill
This movie is like what if John Wick was Batman and Jason Voorhees
Another 1 worth checking out is Nobody with Bob Odenkirk, written by the writer of the John Wick.
I loved the original tv series as a kid. This movie is how you do an adaptation of that tv series. I really recommend Man on Fire and Fallen -- both good Denzel movies. Book of Elie is also a must Denzel movie!
Robert McCall was a former U.S. Marine Gunnery Sergeant and then Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) officer doing black ops.
The synopsis of EQ1 was revealed too early in 2012.
McCall's history was suppose to be kept a secret until the film.
To differentiate from the McCall of the tv series.
Even if it was spoiled, I did enjoy it.
This is the first movie series for Denzel.
His first reappearing character.
Denzel must-see films...
- Courage Under Fire (w Meg Ryan)
- Crimson Tide (w Gene Hackman)
- Remember The Titans (about high school football)
- Training Day (w Ethan Hawke)
- Man On Fire (she needs to see)
- American Gangster (about real life Frank Lucas)
- Flight (drama about the cost of alcoholism)
Also, speaking of Gene Hackman, if you havent seen these...
- The Quick And The Dead (w Sharon Stone)
- Runaway Jury (w Dustin Hoffman and John Cusack)
- The Firm (w Tom Cruise)
- Unforgiven (w Clint Eastwood)
- Behind Enemy Lines (w Owen Wilson)
- Enemy Of The State (w Slappy McSlapperton)
- The Chamber (w Chris O'Donnell)
Love this movie. Easily rewatchable
On the two apartments - one tap vs two taps in the sink. Where he was treating his leg there was only one mixer tap, and the room they burst in to had two seperate.. :)
Also I think you've done Hot Fuzz? The guy who played The Equalizer in original TV series was the same actor for Mr Tom Weaver (in the CCTV room at the police station) - Edward Woodward. :p
Fun movie. Based on the TV show "The Equalizer" (1985-1989). Great reaction as always. BTW, honey has anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Pine tar and some other natural ingredients can also used for wound care.
Fallen, Malcolm X, and Unstoppable are great Denzel movies
I feel like I've already seen you guys react to CRIMSON TIDE with Denzel and Gene Hackman...? If not, definitely check that one out + PHILADELPHIA with Tom Hanks, THE PELICAN BRIEF with Julia Roberts, AMERICAN GANGSTER with Russell Crowe, FALLEN and REMEMBER THE TITANS! 😁
Yes we did! Completely forgot to mention that one in the intro. Thanks for the recommendations!
Book of Eli for Denzel.
Yes yes yes! Love that movie
Hell yeah, this was a pleasant surprise to watch after work lol these are like some of my favorite movies! Definitely check out Training Day (2001) with Denzel, was also made by the same director, Antoine Fuqua.
I'm one of those goofballs who likes the old TV show more than the Denzel remakes...but I MUST watch this reaction because I love TBR Schmitt even more! 👍
American Gangster is my favorite Denzel movie. He's a powerhouse in it.
This movie has a great line that i still use when i try to get better at something big in my life. “Its about progress, not perfection.”
21:08 - Honey is antibacterial and anti-inflammatory and reduces swelling, making it an excellent wound dressing for cuts.
My father was a double amputee diabetic. Whenever he would get any new wounds, I would use this honest mixture to put on them. It works great
I have yet to watch the Equalizer series. So I must unfortunately refrain from watching your reaction as I do not much care for spoilers (regardless of how long the movie's been out).
BUT... I look forward to watching y'alls reaction once I've seen it
bruh, Man on Fire is incredible!!! if Sam hasn't seen that one yet.... that needs to change!!! one of Denzel's best.
the direction, casting, acting, cinematography. hell, even the music is great. without giving any plot points away, there's a quick camera shot of Denzel on a bridge towards the end of the movie. that shot with the solemn piano in the background... it's like a painting.
Sam, girl. you gotta watch that one soon!!!
a couple honorable mentions of his other films, if either of you haven't watched them yet, or anyone in the audience hasn't; Philadelphia, Training Day, Antwone Fisher, American Gangster, Flight, Fences... just to name a small handful of so many great performances of Denzel's
I found it interesting how Robert went to Susan, his old supervisor at the DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency), not only for intel on the bad guy, but also for 'permission'. On one level, perhaps it was a moral permission, as an old and trusted friend, _should_ he get involved with this lowlife, in killing him, and perhaps even his boss the Russian oligarch?
And perhaps 'permission' in the sense of making sure he'll not be messing up any current ops or initiatives for DIA by doing so. Wouldn't do to have his old shop put out a hit on him, either by not knowing it's him and suspecting a new actor in the game, or perhaps knowing it's him and still taking him out because his actions are unauthorized. Susan's not warning him off gives him the green light to 'take out the trash'. Which he does. Effectively.
At the 19:40 mark, that scene in the diner using the book to break that enforcer's neck is cool. However you can not short out the power the way he stuck the knife into the electrical outlet.
Don't know if y'all caught this, but if you recall at the start, when they were trying to guess what Denzel's character used to do, he said he was a pip, then starts dancing.
Now go to the climactic standoff, and when the music starts playing in the Home Mart, it is Gladys Knight and the Pips!
Brawl in Cell Block 99!!! Vince Vaughn!!!
A couple of great Denzel films would be The Taking of Pelham 123 (with John Travolta) and Unstoppable (with Chris Pine)
i remember when i first watched this movie, i knew denzel's character was going to be some dangerous and highly proficient person but that first scene where he kills slavi and his men completely shocked me. i remember being unprepared for the brutality and cold efficiency of the violence when seeing it. such a gratifying scene and it really establishes what the Equalizer is capable of for the rest of the movie.
25:15 "He probably needed a little bit of fresh air" lol that cracked me up
Denzel Washington recommendations:
The Pelican Brief
Crimson Tide
Virtuosity
Courage Under Fire
The Siege
The Bone Collector
John Q.
Out of Time
Inside Man
Déjà Vu
American Gangster
The Taking of Pelham 123
The Book of Eli
Unstoppable
there are others but these are the ones that I've actually watched
Man on Fire (2004) is another Denzel film along the same lines as The Equalizer I think you'd enjoy. I also recommend American Gangster (2007), Flight (2012), Remember the Titans (2000), Crimson Tide (1995), Philadelphia (1993), Malcom X (1992) and Glory (1989).
any denzel movie is awesome. remember the titans is completely different than this but i love that one haha.
There was a TV series of the equalizer in the 1980's also another good one is "law abiding citizen "
You may want more wholesome and uplifting movies on your schedule when you have your baby and will be stressed & emotional. I suggest:
Cocoon 1985
Win Win 2011
Overboard 1987
Weekend at Bernie's 1989
The Way Back 2010
Great job making ASSumptions. For some people movies like this are stress relievers.
@@Necrowolf81 Wow, you sure took that personally
I know people are talking about Denzel's big movies, but please don't miss out on some of his best older films like Fallen (1998), The Siege (1998) and Courage Under Fire (1996)
This series is based off an 80s TV show of the same name. Where each episode a retired secret operative (Robert McCall) helps people in need advertising his services in the newspaper, like we see Robert do at the end of this film.
