Denzel is a rolling master class. He does more with silence and stillness alone than most actors can do with everything in their toolboxes. He’s a generational talent.
I notice for the first time that when Denzel leaves the diner, he takes his book with him. He might want to use it as a weapon, as he did before, but I prefer to think it’s because he values his book and doesn’t want to abandon it, since he hasn’t finished reading it. My kind of person.
@@Gelb33 Goodness knows I’m no expert, but can you get fingerprints off books? Paper and cloth book covers are too absorbent or something like that to let you lift fingerprints off them, I would have thought. But that’s an uneducated guess, of course.
Why do guys with guns always feel the need to get so damn CLOSE? Three separate times in this movie he only survives because the guy with the gun refuses to keep his distance.
A lot of straight to video action movies . Plus was in 2004 spartan movie w Val Kilmer.. 2003 tears of the sun w Bruce Willis, and a 2008 svu episode as crooked prison guard👍
A) the guy walks by him in the window B) just because his head doesn’t raise up doesn’t mean he didn’t watch as he entered the diner His entire character arc is about noticing small details quickly and efficiently. It doesn’t take much to see the difference between an office worker and a manual laborer’s hands.
@Rood67 I have watched this movie 15 times. I have watched this scene several more times. I honestly didn't see anywhere in the clip where he can see the man's hands. But let me rewatch maybe I missed something
@ensembleafrikaentertainment2094 Slow the playback speed down to ,75x or even .5x for the first 10 to 15 seconds. 1. He walks by swinging his hand in front of of the window 2. He pushes the door open from between chest and shoulder height. Specifically, higher than the backs of the booths. A casual glance in either direction, and McCall could see the hands were not cut up or calloused; rather smooth and clean. One could say he washed up, but most guys do not have or use a nail brush at work. So if he had been climbing ladders, poles, or on the ground, the tips of the fingers would likely be dirty, not nail salon perfect.
@@ensembleafrikaentertainmen2094 Clever blocking. There are shots where not both McCall and the guy are in frame so McCall could've taken a quick glance when he's out of frame, and you know a dude like McCall would probably only need a couple quick looks to assess.
you cant short out an electrical socket like that. you would need to short across both terminals. they make this mistake in movies and TV all the time.
Sólo una cosita, ya sabemos que es ficción... pero ... con un cuchillo que metas en una toma de corriente NO DEJAS UN BARRIO sin luz... si acaso, el comedor del bar... y a lo mejor no todo.
I liked the movie, BUT you can't shut down power to a whole building by simply shoving a knife into an electrical outlet. It probably wouldn't even trip the circuit breaker. Audiences don't really know anything about anything, so they do this sort of thing in movies all the time.
@@rayngryphon6793 it 100% is. At times the character dialogue feels forced and awkward. Robert McCall also displays characteristics of OCD through the series. ASD and OCD can have similar symptoms and habits. Whether it was deliberate or not, is up for debate, but there’s most definitely an argument to be made there
The line worker had no idea how to hold an Uzi. Those guns are so unreliable, Im surprised his Kevin Spacey Wannabe boss didnt set him up with a real piece of hardware.
These movies are so cheesy. He folds that guy with a tiny punch with a book and knocks him out that quick 🤣. Then he turns off the lights wby sticking a knife in the wall socket 😂 then proceeds to walk in front of them anyway so why turn off the lights? 😂 then the bad guys are planning to follow him anyways they let him get far away first before “chasing” him to give Denzel enough time to hide so he can get the drop on them and make it look like Denzel is just that amazing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The big dude got too close and let his guard down. If you look closely he hit the big dude on the Solar Plexus which when hit hurts like hell and will knock the wind out of you. Once stunned it was just a matter of knocking the gun out the dude's hand and then breaking his neck. He used the table for leverage which means he doesn't have to apply much force, and the neck isn't very hard to damage since there aren't many muscles protecting it.

Robert McCall and John Wick, two incredible characters brought to life by great acting.
I think the editor is just as good. All the ✂️ to make these fight scenes look good.
As much as I love some Keanu, his greatness is in his work ethic, personal morality and likability, not in his acting talent.
Great acting and Keanu Reeves are not two things I would put together.
Im am new to all this but I do know John Wick. Is this Denzel a famous American movie man?
@@barbarossa1780 He was with Keanu in "Much Ado About Nothing." They tried to make Keanu interesting. They tried.

His knowledge is from books.
there's doing things "by the book", and doing things WITH a book. 🤣🤣
Don't forget fingerprints

@goji059 No!
True that... .just found out the hard way not to do that. ..⚡️
That book. Dayummm. By which I mean, "What did the scriptwriter think we'd accept?"
John Wick and his pencils
Robert McCall and his books

I wanna see an origin story showing us how he got to be this lvl of elite soldier!!!....
In the tv show of the 80s much of this is covered, he has a son etc
Music score is excellent. Michael Mann quality.

They probably think, closer the target, less likely to miss

@@TygerByteI dunno, I think the Queen Latifah “Equalizer” is closest to the spirit of the original TV series with Edward Woodward in the 80s.

There should be a law that writers and directors must be trained to understand hand to hand combat.
Suspension of disbelief. Look it up.
D W is awesome as the equalizer 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
They did Johnny Messner dirty in this movie, he would have won this in real life!!
They should have him as the next Splinter cell game leader.
I think that dude was an actor in tears of the sun
How does Robert McCall see the hands? His eyes never leave his book.
A) the guy walks by him in the window
B) just because his head doesn’t raise up doesn’t mean he didn’t watch as he entered the diner

Like this if you think they should cast a young actor to play as Robert McCall in an Equalizer prequel/origin story!
you cant short out an electrical socket like that. you would need to short across both terminals. they make this mistake in movies and TV all the time.
It's a film not real life!!. Chill. You might need to be on the police radar with a comment like that!
You can't cause short circuit this way, but you can make residual current device to work and switch off this way.
They know how dangerous McCall is but only send one guy alone? Must not have liked him.

Loved this film. DW is brilliant in it, and Morton Csokas is coldly reptilian as the main bad guy.

When Teddy said "alive", he meant not dead.

Unless you've served in the armed forces, most people don't know how to handle a weapon.
Love the way McCall dispatches this idiot. Lol.

It is a movie but not smart what Denzel is doing here. Irl he would have been killed
I understand he's well trained and all but please don't make me believe he folded a quarterback with a push of a book
