Nah man. He's out numbered , but is on a righteous mission. He steps into the dark not to gain advantage. He steps in the dark, because he doesn't want to kill them in the light..
Love that instead of th bad guys attacking one at a time like in most movies..they attack as a group ..and he still wipes them out...just like the bar scene
The only rated-R film I ever took my kids to see. After screening it myself, I felt that the message was very important... that evil exists, and that we all GET to choose whether to stand with it or against it. I say "get", because there is more power in that word than "have" or "can". It is our priceless BLESSING that we have free agency. That's why we are here.
Damn, kids dont need to violence to get a message. They are to be told, instructed, and lead by the message alone. Even though this is one of my favorite films, its not better than just reading the Bible to your kids.
@@EroticOnion23 When I hear "big boy" I hear Gordon Ramsay's voice "When you are preparing Big Boy here, you want to lightly season salt, a touch of finely chopped garlic... some butter, sear in a hot pan..." 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@larrypresnall5360 if i had not seen this scene i would have thought that that must have been one hell of a mouse , bt now i seen this scene so i know what you mean.
To me he's not blind, maybe his wife or kid was blind, and he just knows how to read braille....Denzel said a lot of what people think are clues was just him being clumsy...its up to the viewer, to me its obvious he isn't blind to other people its obvious that he is...either way Good Movie :)
The way he looked back at the underpass let me know he was blind. He knew he could use the echoes in there with his supersonic hearing to detect their attacks
The way he threw his sword down after that last killl under the overpass ... made me think "why would you release your weapon?" ... doesn't make any sense at all ... unless he knew that there were no more threats around.
Its out of sheer disgust at the realisation of how unwanted the whole bloodletting was if only these idiots would let him be. The righteous man never seeks out bloodshed but when confronted has to see to it that the enemy is truly expunged from his existence.
Worst part about all of the scenes in different movies where some woman tries to lure in victims is that the woman always seems to survive. She should be laying down right next to the others.
I think that's because people make the assumption that she was an unwilling accomplice. Being used by the highjackers , almost like a modern-day traf**king victim. But I agree , if she was a willing participant she absolutely should be laid out with them.
One does not need to wind up before attacking with a running chainsaw, one simply lunges forward. This is highly unrealistic. It's obvious this director has never killed anyone with a chainsaw.
I'd gladly take a machete against a chainsaw. Actual chainsaws will get tangled up and stop as soon as they hit fabric. It will hurt, yes, but chainsaws are perhaps the worst anti-zombie weapon imaginable. They're designed to cut wood, not people.
See that's the thing about the blind, their heightened other senses let them know you're there and what you're doing but they're not afraid because they can't see.
The way he threw his sword down after that last kill under the overpass out of frustration and disappointment for having to kill them was such a Denzel/character building thing to do.
I thought part of it was taking the head butt - having to get hit.
I wonder if he improved that.
@@Dozah9425 I'm sure he did!
But then it’s in his hand the next scene. Pretty bad
i wonder when he pick it up. the picking it up won't be that cool so they didn't show it
I always liked how big boy really didn't go down without a fight.
But did Eli have to kill that poor man 3:41 after he was on the ground and not resisting? Why couldn't he have let the poor man go?
He would've died from infection after he lost his hand since there aren't any antibiotics so he was doing him a favor by sparing him from suffering.

This movie is criminally underrated.
It’s a start to finish beautifully filmed masterpiece
One of the best movies ever made, 10/10 stuff
Best movies?
Maybe exaggerated 😅
If he only had his stop watch. 20 seconds!
why. life on earth when their are only a few humans. who needs a watch?
Denzel and Gary Oldman were quite a pair in this movie, along with Mila Kunis.
i always thought mila was latino, its so weird knowing shes fullblood ukraine
Gary Oldman is one of those actors that makes any movie he's in better. The man is such a wonderful actor, he'll make anything watchable.
@@Xylarxcode Gary is a Chameleon. Mostly you don't recognize him by his apereance. Only by his exeptional acting.

I have still never watched this film. Only snippets on YT. I really should sit down and watch it from start to finish.
It's a great film, I'd definitely check it out.
Did that same thing when I was 10 years old and it blew my mind. Need to watch it now 13 years later myself
Perhaps the Best Movie Denzel Washington made ... At lease my Favorite!!!!
no, that film happens to be Training Day...
That's just a crazy thing to say. Training Day, Philadelphia, Man on Fire, Crimson Tide, Malcolm X, Glory, Remember the Titans

Watched this movie several times , great movie !
I love how this movie is in sepia. It gives it an apocalyptic look.
great work done by denzel as always , he does characters like this one great as in the equaliser serie , suits denzel like a glove .
I liked in the beginning of the movie when he offered the starving mouse some food, saying, “it’s caaaaaaaaaat!”

This is an amazing film - Denzel Washington knocks it out of the park in this role.
Best post apocalyptic movie !👍❤
Post apocalyptic? I thought that’s how US is.
I like how he cuts his hand off in a split second with a flick of his wrist.

Gotta hand it him, knows how to fight!
Literally "Hand" it to him😂
Hello, nice movie, thank you 😊
Never mess with the melee character
This scene always gives me chills.
Bro this movie is underrated.
Denzel an amazing actor
The gang leader's actor plays a man in shock very well.
It's hard to believe this movie is almost 15 yr old now.
The day is coming soon that we all will be in this situation
Not me. I don’t plan to stay alive in a world like this.
I’ll bet he saw that movie 300 Before the world got nuked.
“Then we shall fight in the shade!”
i had to watch this movie again after the first viewing, the ending was unbelievable and i wanted to make sure i seen what i saw.
The moment he cut that hand off in lighting speed, those other guys should have known they were dead already.
I have to say that the fighting scene at 2:50 is one of the best ever... EVER...
Bro is about as blind as Stevie wonder
And as badass as Daredevil.
He's in shock.........I think he meant kill em
Great movie
That's like some "Gladiator" shit right there. Man knows how to take care of himself; with blood if perhaps, and more times than not 😜😜
"Are you listening to me?"
"I am now"
Archangel Michael takes over right at that moment.
To me he's not blind, maybe his wife or kid was blind, and he just knows how to read braille....Denzel said a lot of what people think are clues was just him being clumsy...its up to the viewer, to me its obvious he isn't blind to other people its obvious that he is...either way Good Movie :)

Denzel is the master 🙌 👏 👌 💯 🙏
one of my fav Denzel movies!
There’ll be a day when the realization that human life is NOT SACRED will come …soon.
Eye for an eye, fracture for fracture, tooth for tooth.. So it was said, so it shall be.
Sent them to Paradise.
When realized in the end he blind, so his sense of smell is greater, thus being covered by the grace of god as well 😂😂
What kungfu technique did eli use in this fight scene?
I like how Denzel always fail to answer that question: Who are you? There is no answer =/
Far as we know, Eli may not even be his real name.
@thientuongnguyen2564 A name is just a name. Take care and happy new 2025 for you 🙂
“Is that a timex” ⌚️
Denzel owned that one like he does all of them.
He's really good at pressing Y in a fight

He lured them into the tunnel to have the better advantage because of the echo. Technically using sonar and your footsteps in a tunnel are loud.
Like in elementary school, keep your hands to yourself. If only adults followed that rule
