      The Replacment Killers with Chow Yun-Fat (first American studio film) and Oscar winner Mira Sorvino.
      From executive producer John Woo and Antoine Fuqua's directorial debut.
      That's a must-see gem.

The world is full of so-called "men" like you, and, in a perfect world, everything we do comes with a price, but this ain't a perfect world. People do bad things. If you're lucky, you get a chance to set it right, but most of the time it goes unpunished. This ain't one of them times. The mistake you made was you killed my friend. So, I'm gonna kill each and every one of you, and the only disappointment in it for me is that I only get to do it once."

    Antoine Fuqua is extremely underrated as a director, he's made so many well made, BADASS movies and projects... The Equaliser trilogy, Training Day, Tears Of The Sun, Shooter, Brooklyn's Finest, Olympus Has Fallen, South Paw, The Magnificent Seven, Terminal List. Not to mention his work in producing these and other great projects.

    You guys should look up Denzel talking about racial tensions. He is VERY passionate with regards to his beliefs and stance on it. Everything he said in that scene is what he wants to tell every kid in that situation. I guarantee that's where his passion in that scene comes from, it's from the heart.
    Most powerful scene in the movie.

    Listen, I loved the original tv series with Edward Woodward.
    Even more, I am a fan of these movies. Denzel takes this character and brings a complicated heart to it. Part hardened and business-like, part caring/mentor/helper, part broken deep inside.
    The biggest two regrets are that even though I am hyped for #3, it points out the finite nature of this character in the movies, and that saddens me.
    My second regret is that he couldn’t kill those guys twice.

    What's really poignant to me is that Robert tries so hard to compensate for the bad things he did in his life but the darkness still manages to peek through. He met the guy's wife and daughters and still had no qualms about killing Pedro Pascal's character despite knowing that he'd be rendering those girls fatherless.

The dinner conversation scene from the first movie always comes to mind when Robert asks the Russian what he sees when he looks at him and in that moment he looks dead in the eyes. My initial comment was more of an observation and expansion of a thought present in the film rather than a critique on Robert or even an attempt at making a point.

    I liked how this one was a little more closer, more personal for McCall.
    Betrayal has a way of bringing out the worse in people.
    But you don't just think that with McCall, you'll get away with it.
    Ever better action sequences.
    The car fight and the battle in the storm were awesome.
    Outgrossed the first installment and became Denzel's highest grossing film ever.
    EQ3 as an final chapter looks to be even more epic.

    The POV of his rediscovery of self. The first movie externalizes the equalization: the typical trope of leveling the field for the little guy. This movie is the leveling of the field within, finding pieces of himself he hadn't yet fully processed. The elimination of his old team, even Melissa's character, was the step by step erasure of the worst parts of his past. Really enjoyed this movie. And, while I'm 100% all for a John Wick, Atomic Blonde, and Equalizer crossover (an Expendables with actual depth and character, god forbid)... I'll also be perfectly fine with 3 being the end of everything. No doubt he'll finally meet his actual match, the equalization will take place from there. It's been nice for the 1st to have leaned light, the 2nd leaned dark. The psychosomatic pulley system they're going to have to use for #3 is going to be so, so good.

      Yeah they showed the guy who had his neck twisted holding his neck in pain in the next shot. I do wish they had chosen different choreography against that guy, because in Hollywood logic neck twists/snaps typically = death, including just early in this movie. While I'm sure Robert could choose to only incapacitate people with neck twists in this universe, it makes it a bit unclear in a quick fight scene like that. I completely see why Greg and Coy thought he killed them.

Then you have to imagine how they balanced each other and how her loss sent him into self-exile and coldness. Here he had Miles sit in that chair with him for a while, mindfully put his wedding ring on his other hand, and is back home. He is open in a way he hasn’t been since her death. At the same time, he has finished the list of books. From what we saw of them, they were all about self-reclaiming, finding a life purpose, other things he needed to understand to be able to move on to something positive.
    Like you, I LOVED the whole subplot with Miles. The reveal of Miles’ glorious, sunny, hope-filled wall painting, his new confidence, all believable and so well done. It’s a balance to the darkness in the story.
    By the way, I don’t think he killed all the abusers in that early scene as a Lyft driver. I think he hurt them and broke limbs, but he knows the fine line before bringing death. If one really was close to killing him, he might have killed that one in a self-defensive reflex, but most I believe he left alive with a lesson learned.

    I think the main reason the film has moved on from the first installment is based on the original TV series.
    They linked back to the drifter aspect of the character and how he moved on to help different people.
    How they developed it further with Denzel was pure cinematic joy 😊
    He is now the Equaliser and I can't wait for 3 ❤

    Thanks for the reaction! Robert actually doesn’t kill those guys in the penthouse. You can still hear/see them moving in the background after he beats them down. He’s so cold with it that he knows how to neutralize without killing!

    Robert McCall is the guy they do not want to underestimate him, and mess with and come after him and the people closet to him.
    Because if they do, he will come after them and ruthlessly hurt and break them leaving them broken and crippled for the rest of thier lives and if by choice kill them; ruin and humiliate their lives, dignities, and reputation horribly; and tear and destroy everything they have, desire and own all their lives into pieces and ashes. All of them both mentally, physically, and psychologically.
    He is their worst nightmare to them.

    Anyone who knows the Northeastern New England coast knows how accurate this is. The towns. The streets. The fact that the Tobin Bridge heads out of Boston to the North. The scale and ferocity of a **REAL** Nor'Easter storm. (Sorry.....Nor'Eastah for the uninitiated.) I was born in Lowell and I've lived on the Northern New England coast for my entire life.....50 years.

    The CBS series from the 80s had a similar drama vibe, with pretty tense action for a TV program at the time. Fuqua and Denzel are able to ratchet everything up to 11!

    Liam Neeson from Taken in an interview says he's a huge Denzel Washington fan, but he was obsessed with this series and he watches them repeatedly... This is Denzel's first sequel and it was no coincidence it was with Antoine Fuqua. Fuqua said Denzel has free range to freelance with the script which he often does, like his legendary "King Kong" line from Training Day and "When you pray for rain line" in part one. Fuqua said his only concern was it wasn't captured. The chemistry they have came together for part 3 set for release Sept 1

    I lived in that neighborhood for 28 years and while they filmed this, everyday was mostly sunny the editing in this is very good, if you want to see what it normally looks like not drying a movie look up Brant Rock Massachusetts, Esplanade that’s where these final scenes were filmed. I met Denzel he’s a super good dude

Love this franchise and can't wait to see the third one! I'm a new subscriber, and I've been going through your catalog and watching past reactions, and I'm really enjoying your channel!

    I feel like the unique commentary we get through the various couples/triples per episode is at this point vital to the overall brand of the channel, special episodes I feel like could warrant even 4 ppl, if you could fit on screen, anyways, keep up the great work guys, love y’all ❤

    The way that he analyzes the situation before he initiates the fight is how Batman should approach combat. He is a master tactician and it’s time that they convey that on the big screen. RDJ did the same thing in the Sherlock Holmes movies.

  • @NickPR87
    @NickPR87 Рік тому +4

    He always refused to do sequels, but the way this was written, crafted and directed by someone he respects in Antoine Fuqua makes you understand why he agreed to do this series. Listen, I love John Wick and the preposterous thing it is, but it lacks character background or reasoning behind the things he does.
    I'm very excited for part 3!

    • @ImAlsoMerobiba
      @ImAlsoMerobiba Рік тому +2

      Agreed. John Wick does really well with stunt work, and even cinematography and world building as the movies continue. The overall writing and character development doesn't hold a candle to Equalizer though. Two very different types of action series, and both great in their own rights.

  • @macatk35
    @macatk35 Рік тому +1

    A lot of people don't know who Antoine Fuqua is, but he is an incredible writer/director. The perfect blend of action, violence, and emotion makes him one of the best. If anyone is interested in more from him, watch Training Day and End of Watch.

    The benefits of being almost 70. The old man was Orson Bean. When I was a kid he was well known. Also the original Robert McCall was a 60s something White man with a team. Then Denzel as basically a loner, then Queen Latifa as 50s something Equalizer with a team.
    Franchise.

    The film was fun to watch and tapped into a fuller deeper range that is meant to be immersive and interactive like VR or a video game without the actually VR visuals and game. This film was clearly meant to be
    felt like his autobiography. The audience
    is meant to understand the emotion of his training, past, psychology and being with him. It was a personal thriller while WIck is mostly a fantasy escape.
