      It's Marton's acting in this piece which fascinates me so much more than Denzel's. McCall is basically just a fantasy-fulfilment persona, fun to watch but not intrinsically interesting. But Teddy has all these layers. That gleam of polish and self-assurance. The visible outline of calculated, sociopathic brutality lurking just beneath. But then the way he begins to show that that too is just a mask, and what you glimpse underneath is the wreckage of a profoundly damaged and malformed psyche. Teddy's a monster, but he's still a more convincing human than McCall.

      I think the story is not only a way to say that the little boy grew up to become Teddy but to attack Teddy psychologically.
      Teddy says that “You think you know me”
      McCall does know him. McCall is still a mystery in this film. Teddy pretty much has been singled out.
      That’s why this scene is interesting. It shows one side knows more than the other and that’s an advantage when it comes to the final confrontation.

  • @OneBiasedOpinion
    @OneBiasedOpinion 4 роки тому +4950

    I just realized what the implications of that last line are. Nikolai asks "what do you see when you look at me?" and McCall tells him his own life's story in response. The hidden conversation in this is "do you know who you're dealing with?" and the response is "yes, I've done my research."
    At the end, McCall gives Nikolai time to make his choice, leaving a phone number with which to contact him when he's ready. It's already fairly clear Nikolai isn't about to take McCall's "offer" seriously, and so that's why McCall turns Nikolai's own question back on him: "what do you see when you look at me?" He's asking him "do _you_ know who you're dealing with?" with the implication that if Nikolai really _does_ know, he should take McCall's "offer" far more seriously.
    That's brilliant screenwriting right there.

    Denzel was never an action star. He doesn't have the huge muscles, or crazy physique. He doesn't have the silly one liners, or intense martial arts background. What he has is years of acting experience that allows him to be scarier than all of that. The way he looks at people, speaks to them, and uses his body language allows him to come across as a man who has spent decades doing probably unspeakable things. Similar to John Wick, Robert McCall doesn't waste energy with excess movement, he does exactly what he needs to do to get a job done quickly and efficiently, while still looking badass. Which to me is beautiful choreography. Denzel is no action star, he is just a powerful actor that has the skills to be a believable nightmare for anyone who is opposite of him.

    Marton Csokas gave us one of the greatest villains action cinema has produced and he doesn’t get enough credit for it. Yes Denzel is awesome but that only can work if the person opposite him on just as on point. It’s why the first film is so much better than the other two.

      The other is the level of intelligence exposed. In the conversation Denzel shows he is both smarter and wiser. Everything out of Nicolai mouth was based on holding in emotion even though he said he had none,he was playing it off and Denzel saw right through him.

He manages to keep his mouth steady save for a twitch but you see him screaming inside through his eyes.

    The intense yet subtle power of this scene gets missed at first viewing to many. I didn't realize just how strong of a statement he makes. Denzel basically walks in, and tells this man he not only knows his name (he never gives it to him yet he knows) and proceeds to lay out his life story before him as if it were some fable. It shows him that he's messing with the wrong guy in such a powerful way that you may not realize at first unless you were the actual character sitting across from him here. To have a total stranger come up to you and lay out your life story, speak your language, and be that calm about it... Wow is that not terrifying to receive?
